Cassidy Taylor is an indie pop artist based in Toronto, Ontario. Known for writing incredibly thought-provoking lyrics and unforgettable hooks, Cassidy’s sound is described as introspective yet anthemic — the kind of music that allows you to hear yourself. Cassidy has been compared to artists like Gracie Abrams, Billie Eilish, and some of the greats like Joni Mitchell and Chrissie Hynde of The Pretenders. With her enormously warm and inviting presence on stage, she has charmed audiences across Ontario and continues to amass fans in places as far as Australia and Germany through her latest releases. In June of 2025, she released her latest single, "Not Blue."

 

As a songwriter, Cassidy weaves in her internal experience throughout her music, and “Not Blue” is a staple of that. With clever wordplay, a driving beat, and appregiated synthesizers, Cassidy takes us on a journey through her mind and gives us the perfect upbeat soundtrack for late-night summer drives.

 

Growing up a shy kid in the Haliburton Highlands of Ontario, Canada, Cassidy began writing songs in her bedroom at the age of 8. As her artistry evolved and with her best work on the horizon, now the vision is to take others out of the comfort of their headphones and get them in a room to experience a community where they belong.

 

Releasing her debut, self-titled EP in 2023, the project has garnered over 200K streams on Spotify and amassed praise from blogs like ParaPOP, who described the project as “a sonic journey of self-discovery, loss, acceptance, and ultimately healing.” The third single off the project, “The Moon”, landed a spot in Season 2 of Surviving Summer, a fast-growing Netflix TV series based in Australia. Some of Cassidy’s notable performances include Opening for Michelle Owen at The Drake Underground in Toronto [2025], opening for Havens at the El Mocambo in Toronto [2024], opening for Julian Taylor in Haliburton [2023], the JUNOS Opening Night Chair Reception in Toronto [2022]. Having written with acclaimed artists such as Julian Taylor, Zoe Sky Jordan, and Robyn Dell’Unto, Cassidy is making a name for herself in the industry not only as a proficient songwriter but as an artist.
