Biography

Cass grew up in North London in 1982 as the only daughter in a large working-class Irish family. She never had any formal training, or Stage School to guide her, but knew from an early age she wanted to make music.

After being spotted by a friend of Portuguese producer Rui Da Silva singing with a reggae band busking for an "impromptu" jam on the streets of the West End, as she returned from a night out. She was given his number and rang him and invited herself down to the Roundhouse studios, where she wrote the lyrics to Touch Me, and helped co-produce the track with Rui. Which also sampled Spandau Ballet's "Chant No. 1". The song, "Touch Me," became the first number one of 2001 and went on to sell 300,000 copies, but despite its success, she parted company with Rui Da Silva.

She was later signed to Ministry of Sound, who signed the album Come Here. Later signed to Island Records to take the Album to the next level. After working with producer Rollo Armstrong (Faithless/Dido) she was due to release her acoustic folk-pop debut album, Come Here, in 2005, but due to legal wrangles over her name, it was cancelled at the last minute. Cass was the first of two support acts on Faithless' Forever Faithless tour in 2005. Cass later appeared on the 2006 Faithless album To All New Arrivals, providing vocals for the track "Music Matters". She has appeared alongside the band on the tour supporting this album in 2007 with support act Calvin Harris.

She has been signed to Ministry of Sound and Island/Universal Records for her album Come Here. Has worked with Rollo, Faithless, Rick Knowles, Ben Langmead (La Roux) and has performed at Coachella, Wembley, Filmore (San Francisco), Webster Hall (New York). She has appeared on Top of the Pops, C.D.U.K. Smash Hits t.v. performing her hit "Touch Me" and The Album Chart Show with Faithless singing "Music Matters".

A version of her song "Little Bird" was remixed into DJ Tiësto's compilation album In Search of Sunrise 5: Los Angeles, released in 2006. And she has recently worked with Paul Oakenfold on a cover and new vocal of her hit record Touch Me which was released in 2014.
