Cass began writing songs 25 years ago, but it has been the last ten years that have seen the greatest output of material. Her songs tell stories that explore the human condition, and her material is gathered from her own experiences, and those of the people  with whom she comes in contact.In 2011, having left the University of Ballarat and with sons Kit and Max pretty much ‘cooked’! Cass was able to find the time to hone her songs lyrically and musically to a point where she was happy to perform and record them. As well as wanting to continue performing as a solo performer with piano, Cass is now teaching herself guitar, in the hope of forming a duo or band with which to perform, record  and tour.
