Biography:

Casey’s music has made an impact around the world. He’s had hits in Europe, written and recorded in America, appeared in a top-rating TV show in Australia, and played alongside many international stars including Mariah Carey, Lady Antebellum and Bryan Adams.

Casey started his singing career in his home state of Tasmania before relocating to the Gold Coast, which he now calls home. Casey’s songs are honest and heartfelt. The emotions are genuine. This was evident on his 2012 release ‘Jet Trails’, which spawned a string of well-received singles. This album was Casey’s first association with Aussie hit-maker Rick Price (Not a Day Goes By, Heaven Knows) after a chance meeting in Nashville led the pair to become life long friends and songwriting partners.

Writing with Rick Price continued into 2014 with Casey’s EP 'Flesh & Bone', which was recorded in Nashville. This EP was produced by Price and mixed by Grammy Award winner Jason Lehning and saw the release of four singles, ‘Valentine’, ‘Flesh and Bone’, 'Waiting On The Day and 'Hard Times, all receiving regular radio airplay nationwide. In addition, all four music videos were featured extensively on Foxtel’s CMC and all singles charted well in the All Australian Top 20 Countdown and CMC Country charts.
Casey’s most recent single, ‘The One You Love’ was produced by ARIA award winning producer Nick Didia. Nick has been responsible for working with such music heavy weights such as Bruce Springsteen, Pearl Jam, Rage Against the Machine and Australia’s own Powerfinger and Kasey Chambers. The catchy country/blues influenced song excelled on the charts and had wonderful support on radio. In its first week of release the track was the 7th most downloaded single on the Play MPE chart. It also reached #3 on the Official Australian Airplay Country Top 20 chart and received general rotation on many stations including ABC Country.

Family and community are important to Casey. At the start of 2011, his defiant ‘Never Break You’ became an anthem after the devastating Queensland floods and Cyclone Yasi. The song soared to number one on the AIR charts, Top 10 on the mainstream iTunes charts and number six on ARIA’s Australian Artists Singles chart, with Casey donating all proceeds to the Premier’s Disaster Relief Appeal.

The last 3 years have seen many great achievements for Casey with shows in New York, Nashville and Los Angeles. He has also been fortunate to perform at gigs and festivals around Australia including main stage at one of Queensland’s premier events the ‘Caloundra Music Festival’ (twice) and the very popular 'A Day On The Green'.

A recent highlight was participating in Perth’s Channel Seven Telethon in 2013 and again in 2015. A seasoned television performer, Casey has performed numerous times on such shows as Sunrise, Mornings with Kerri-Anne, The Morning Show, The Circle and the Marngrook Footy Show.

In July 2015, Casey won People’s Choice Award at the Gold Coast Music Awards and followed this up with a win in September 2015 at the NCEIA Dolphin Music Awards for the second year running. Last year Casey won ‘Best Male Vocal’ for his single ‘Hard Times’.

Australians got to know Casey’s story when he was a top 12 finalist in the final series of Australian Idol. But Casey already had a career well before appearing on the show, having released three albums, played alongside Bryan Adams (for A Day On The Green), Eskimo Joe and Vanessa Amorosi and had a number one hit in Europe, singing Marco Demark’s remake of Elton John’s Tiny Dancer.

Casey has gone from strength to strength with a special guest appearance as support to US superstar Mariah Carey for A Day on the Green. He also has performed on premier music events such as Broadbeach Country Music Festival and this year will see him perform at Urban Country Music Festival.

2016 has seen Casey bunker down preparing for his next release. Fresh from recording exciting new music for his upcoming album at the legendary Sound Emporium Studios in Nashville, Casey has walked away with some of his best music to date. Recording new songs in an iconic studio that is steeped in musical history was certainly a highlight of Casey’s career. This studio is amongst the finest in America and has seen elite artists such as Taylor Swift, R.E.M. Eric Clapton, Sheryl Crow, Willie Nelson, Trisha Yearwood and Kenny Rogers record there over the years.

Casey has once again teamed up with fellow Australian Rick Price as co-songwriter and producer. The songs will be engineered and mixed by Eddie Spear who is responsible for working with the likes of Jack Johnson, The White Stripes, Willie Nelson, Neil Young, Norah Jones, Sheryl Crow and more recently Chris Stapleton.

In June, Casey travelled to California to perform at major US music festival Country Summer. An annual event, held at Santa Rosa, featured the likes of Lady Antebullum, Craig Morgan and The Band Perry. Casey also made his US television debut performing on CBS morning show ‘Good Day Sacramento’.

Casey continues to dominate the Australian music festival circuit and with more major festivals in the pipeline for 2016 sees him as one of Australia’s premier performers with a career truly on the rise.
