Cassie is talented professional composer for film, television, and advertising. She created scores for film and TV productions for ABC, SBS, Netflix, Amazon Prime and Stan. She has been nominated for multiple awards.

This time we get to hear her personal music!
It's very realaxing and instrumental, takes you to
"a world that reflects the most precious parts of being human: emotion, memory, and connection".

It was great working with you Cassie, I do love creating publicity images and work on concepts that can match the artist :)
