[87] Cassie Henderson | Singer-songwriter, Artist, Entertainer, NZ X-Factor

"I spent a long time thinking that if I'm proud of anything, then it means you know, that I'm too much" - Cassie Henderson, singer-songwriter. Cassie Henderson, she’s a musician singer-songwriter, an entertainer, and in one word could be described as an artist. Her lyrics resonate whether you’re deep in your emotions or feeling electric on the dance floor. Cassie has range and we’re only seeing the start of her scope. With a powerful work ethic - from writing lyrics, to creating social media content, or playing live - she’s smashing radio records, playing festivals like Homegrown, R&V, Electric Ave, and also preparing to release two EPs following her debut EP last year ‘The Pink Chapter.’ Her single Whatever was the most played song on radio by any New Zealand artist for 12 consecutive weeks in 2023 - a feat that hasn’t been achieved since Lorde. That very single got her nominated for Breakthrough Single of the Year at the recent 2024 Aotearoa Music Awards. We first came to know Cassie in 2013 when she made a name for herself across NZ on X-Factor. But she’s grown a lot since then and her music reflects that. Enjoy this awesome kōrero!
