Biography

Cass grew up in North London in 1982[1] as the only daughter in a large working-class Irish family. She never had any formal training, or Stage School to guide her, but knew from an early age she wanted to make music.

After being spotted by a friend of Portuguese producer Rui Da Silva singing with a reggae band busking for an "impromptu" jam on the streets of the West End, as she returned from a night out. She was given his number and rang him and invited herself down to the Roundhouse studios, where she wrote the lyrics to Touch Me, and helped co-produce the track with Rui. The song, "Touch Me," became the first number one of 2001 and went on to sell 300,000 copies, but despite its success, she parted company with Rui Da Silva. [2]
