ABOUT
Cassidy Taylor is an indie pop artist based in Toronto, Ontario. Known for writing incredibly emotional lyrics and clever hooks, Cassidy’s sound is described as introspective, heartfelt, and atmospheric — the kind of music that allows you to hear yourself. Growing up in the Haliburton Highlands of Ontario, Canada, 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. On June 13th, her newest single, “Not Blue” will launch across all platforms just in time for summer.
As an introspective songwriter, Cassidy weaves in her internal experiences throughout her music and “Not Blue” is a staple to 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.
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 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.
