Cassidy is an incredible singer-songwriter who you may recognize from Dutton Ranch, where she performed her song “Heartshaped Necklace.” We talk about that experience, the power of music placement, and what it’s been like watching her career grow.
In this episode, we get into:
Cassidy’s childhood and growing up in a military family
ADHD and how music became her outlet
Why songwriting became her superpower
Moving to Nashville at 16
Meeting Liz Rose and learning the craft of songwriting
Trusting your gut and following intuition

Cassidy is the kind of artist who reminds you why storytelling matters. Her music is honest, emotional, and completely her own — and this conversation is such a beautiful look into the journey behind it.
