Cassius White

Born: December 11, 1955

The title of my CD is "From the Inside Out," featuring my title track, Cora Lee. The title track is the key to my success because it has motivated my music, like listening to Rick Braun, Chuck Mangione and Miles Davis. Consider me as an authentic artist because there are no samples in my work. No one really knows where music is going; sooner or later it all comes back to creativity. So far the reaction to my new CD has been great! I hope you like it too.
