Hip-hop king Warren G was so impressed by the Gnagara local, he called her up and asked her to work on a comeback track with him in LA.
The result is ‘Swagga Rich’ a tune which Cassie provided lyrics and backing vocals for – alongside Snoop Dogg.
Unsurprisingly, Snoop also declared Cassie the “shiznit” after they sang together.
As if things couldn’t have got any better for Cassie while she was in the States, she also got a call from Fergie who told her that her ballad, ’Amazing’, had ‘made her cry.’
Propelled by this success, the 24-year-old has now embarked on her ‘Walkman Live Your Life Loud Tour’ ahead of the release of her debut album, ‘Differently’, on August 14.
The tour will see her performing and conducting workshops at a number of high schools across NSW, Victoria and her home state of WA.
She said: “Going into schools is something that I have been doing for a very long time. Encouraging kids to believe in themselves is a message I feel is very important.
“I also like to let people know you don’t have to be the coolest kid in school – I wasn’t – we have such great educational opportunities in Australia and it’s essential to support students and give them the confidence to have a dream.”
