Sun-soaked South Florida's
best kept secret is about to have his day in the national
spotlight. His name is CASELY, and at the tender age of 22 he has
arrived to shatter all expectations of what makes an R&B
superstar.
After attending world-famous Berklee College of Music on full
scholarship, this classically trained pianist is a
singing-acting-dancing-songwriting quadruple threat who embodies
what it means to be a child of the 80s - his influences range from
Prince and Michael Jackson to Death Cab for Cutie and John Mayer,
and it shows. On 1985, CASELY's debut album for Epic Records, we
find a brave new artist bringing it back while bridging a gap to
the future.
Casely is a melting pot product, a Miami-born charmer, and the
shining son of Trinidadian and Panamanian parents. His upbringing
straddled class lines and color lines. Charming, effortlessly
stylish, oozing with talent, and perpetually humming a sweet
falsetto tune, Casely springs forth from a cultural heritage that
"allowed me to just express myself without any restrictions. No
handcuffs," he says.
