Cassaundra

 

Cassaundra Fitch grew up in a very

 musical family and played flute in

 the high school marching band.

The development of her own

musical voice, however, did not

occur until college. Throughout her

life, Cassaundra often expressed

her thoughts and life experiences in

 the form of poetry. During her

sophomore year at Michigan State

 University, Cassaundra’s poetry

blossomed and turned into music.

 The guitar that sat unused at home became her vehicle to introduce a

 captivating voice with passionate

 messages.

 

“Free Fall,” her first indie music

video, attracted the attention of

 internationally-renowned

composer, arranger and producer,

Dan Yessian. Within a very short

period of time, Yessian signed her

to an artist development contract.

 

Cassaundra kicked off America’s

 Thanksgiving Parade in 2014 with

 the song “Tell Me I’m Not

Dreaming,” written by Yessian. She

 has also opened shows for “Gossip

 Girl” actress/ singer-songwriter

 Leighton Meester &

singer-songwriter YouTube

sensation Kawehi, performed an

on air episode of Mitch Albom’s

WJR national radio show, and has

 performed in some of Michigan’s

 biggest festival events.

 

Cassaundra’s first acoustic EP

features 5 original songs that

capture her raw, heartfelt,

emotional messages and soulful

delivery. Cassaundra’s new EP

was released on Late to the Plate

 Recordings. She states that her new

 EP, “Encompasses very vulnerable,

 personal stories of my own

heartbreak and sorrow. I wanted to

 write songs about real life and

connect with my

 fans on a deeper level.”
