Cassie Davis (born 1987) is an Australian singer, songwriter and producer from Perth, Western Australia. In addition to vocals, Cassie can play the guitar, piano, keyboard and sampler, all of which she plays at some point on her debut album, Differently.
Cassie Maree Davis was born in Gnangara, Western Australia) is the second child of a family of four, her father, Steven, is a pastor in Perth. Davis' parents introduced her to music.
My dad would always put instruments in my hands and encourage me to play music. He pretty much taught me how to sing, and when I was eight my parents bought me my first guitar. I had played piano before that, but it was when I got my guitar that I started to be become creative. I taught myself to play and started writing songs.
Davis recorded her first songs on her home computer at age twelve. In 1999, she did work experience at a local recording studio for three years and learnt how to use mics, song arranging, basic producing and how to make a good recording. Davis then enrolled at the Western Australian Academy of Performing Arts (WAAPA), where she studied sound engineering and production. In 2003 she travelled to the United States, accompanied by her elder sister, Emma, who handles the business side of their label, 12 Stones.
Emma and I started going back and forth between Australia and New York from the end of 2003. We were songwriting and knocking on doors. Looking back we were so naive to go there and think that we could make it. But all opportunities have come from us stepping out on a limb
. Her younger brother, Joseph, plays guitar in her band.
Davis wrote and recorded the majority of her album independently. She also worked with producer Printz Board, producer Rodney Jerkins and songwriter/producer Wayne Wilkins who has already brought her in to work on a number of writing and production projects.
