Australian rocker Cassidy Paris is thrilled to share her new single and accompanying music video, “Butterfly”, out now via Frontiers Music Srl.
“Lyrically the song Butterfly represents strength and independence. It can be applied to many facets of life. It encapsulates freedom, peace, growth and individuality. We feel very privileged and honoured to have had some greats like Paul Laine (The Defiants) and Gary Brandon (White Sister) contribute to make this song worthy of being the first single, from the new era”, commented Cassidy.
As a teenager growing up in Australia, there’s likely very few others out there with ambitions of being a “rock star”. Especially considering rock music isn’t exactly regarded by the mainstream as the “coolest” thing in the 2020’s. 22yo Cassidy Paris however is an exception. Cassidy is determined to make rock music a ‘cool’ thing again and inspire a new generation of younger fans to not only listen to rock ‘n’ roll, but maybe even pick up a guitar, instead of a phone.
At the age of 11, Cassidy met singer songwriter Paul Laine (ex Danger Danger, The Defiants), who developed a unique mentoring role. Paul took Cassidy under his wing to help develop her as an artist and songwriter, collaborating with her in song-writing and producing her music. From early on, Cassidy has wanted to deliver a strong message through her music. In 2018, she released the song “Stand”, a heartfelt song about ‘standing up for yourself’ as a young woman.
Cassidy continues to deliver that message, promoting anti-bullying through performances at many schools around Melbourne, Australia and is an active campaigner for the worldwide ‘Metalheads Against Bullying’ organisation. Cassidy has built up a strong connection with her growing worldwide fanbase that has already seen her perform in America, Japan and the UK with the band.
Cassidy Paris released her debut full length album titled “New Sensation” in December 2023 to critical acclaim. “My debut album is 80s infused, mixed with a current vibe. Influenced by Rock Gods such as Debbie Harry, Pat Benatar, Joan Jett & Lita Ford, I’m keen to put my spin on things in a modern original way”, she declared.
Cassidy Paris will embark on the Bittersweet Tour by playing live shows in Europe, the U.K. & Ireland in April, May & June 2025. The tour will also see the band perform at festivals such as Frontiers Rock Festival Italy, Chti Rock France, BEL-AOR Ireland and Call Of The Wild in England.
Cassidy & the band are endorsed by Fender Guitars, Anthony Bell Guitars, Ernie Ball, London Drumstick Co. & Wornstar Clothing.
