Kassidy

Teeming with the blood, sweat, and tears of an extraordinary journey, Kassidy’s music is the sound of scars healing. He confronts pain head-on with powerhouse vocals while cutting loose during soulful, funky moments of pure joy. His open-hearted pop reflects the loss, love, and resilience gained through life’s ups and downs.

Hailing from Gatineau, Québec, Kassidy found music as an early outlet, inspired by artists like Justin Bieber, Stevie Wonder, and Gavin DeGraw. Despite bullying that led him to leave school in the tenth grade, he pursued his passion relentlessly, taking vocal lessons, writing, and recording while juggling odd jobs, including a seven-year stint as a chef. A battle with drug addiction culminated in an overdose and a fresh start.

After sharing his music online, Kassidy caught the attention of GRAMMY®-nominated duo Banx & Ranx in 2023, leading to a pivotal music camp. Signed to Universal Music Canada and Ultra Music Publishing, he continues to rise. In October 2024, he released a 3-song EP, followed by “Along the Way” with Thierry Von der Warth (Nov 22), which garnered critical acclaim. With so much more to come, Kassidy’s story has only just begun.
