When Casey’s grandfather passed away in 2023, he left him a caravan – an old holiday home on the English coastline which contained a history Casey hadn’t previously thought about. When he arrived, moving in temporarily with his dog and removing himself from his usual, metropolitan surroundings, Casey found instant inspiration, which he used to write and create Not Ready.

Casey has already toured extensively and since 2021 every tour that he has put on sale has sold out. Last year Casey played a fantastically received gig at London’s iconic KOKO, as part of a headline tour, in partnership with Music Venue Trust. He has also established rapidly growing audiences in Australia and South Africa through repeatedly playing live in these parts of the world.

Growing up in Chesterfield, a market town in the English midlands as an only child with a penchant for the spotlight, Casey was exposed to and inspired by the greats of 00s English pop culture, including Robbie Williams and Arctic Monkeys. He initially played the clarinet while developing his musical skills and tastes, before he started writing songs at 14.
