Cassie grew up in Connecticut
but found success in New York - moving there
after high school instead of going to college
and finding some modeling success. Her
recording career started with meeting
producer Ryan Leslie a few times and then
being asked by her mom to record a birthday
song for her (which led to a track named
"Kiss Me" that Leslie dueted on and
produced for her). The track made it to Tommy
Mottola who offered her a contract.
Cassie could be heard on the
soundtrack for Step
Up 2: The Streets with the track
"Is It You."
Cassie will release her next LP Electro
Love sometime in 2010.
May: CNN released
hotel video from 2016 showing Diddy attacking his
Cassie, his then girlfriend, which
paralleled allegations she made late last
year which was settled monetarily out of
court. Cassie responded to news:
"The outpouring of love has created
a place for my younger self to settle and
feel safe now, but this is only the
beginning. Domestic violenece is the
issue. It broke me down to someone I
never thought I would become. With a lot
of hard work, I am better today, but I
will always be recovering from my
past."
