Casey Desmond: Indie Music Universe Artist of the Week

Posted by Guelixa Garcia On August - 1 - 2010

Casey DesmondThe daughter of two musicians & raised in a recording studio, its no surprise that Casey Desmond shares her bedroom with many vintage synths & keyboards, guitars and recording gear, and converted her living room into a practice space for her band.  Home is where the music plays any time of night or day.  Writing and recording with multi gold and platinum producer Anthony J Resta (Elton John,Collective Soul, Shawn Mullins, Duran Duran), Grammy winner Will Ackerman & bassist Tony Levin, her music has collectively garnered her over 2 dozen songwriting awards & prizes, film & TV placements, composition work with a major TV network and music library as well as 2 tracks on a compilation with Amy Winehouse & Duffy.

 

Drawing from her education in illustration and fashion design, she incorporates the style and dramatic flair of rock's electro-pop icons like David Bowie, Peter Gabriel, Cyndi Lauper, & Blondie & contemporaries Bat for Lashes and LaRoux into her newest music,stage show, and even her hand made stage attire.

 

Casey has shared the stage with David Cook, Johny Lange, Ed Kowaszyk (from Live), The Motels, Luka Rossi, Kate Voegel & performed at dozens of colleges & venues all over the country as well as CMJ, NXNE, Sundance Film Festival, Virgin College Mega Tour, South Park, London Calling, MMS, MPMF, Head of the Charles Regatta, NACA, COCA, DBMC, Chickfest, Collegefest, Intl.
