Cassadee Pope is an American country singer-songwriter from Florida, USA. Born in 1989, Cassadee Pope is known for being the first female winner of American television show The Voice.
Musical from a young age, Cassadee Pope’s first success came as the lead vocalist for pop-punk group Hey Monday, which was signed to Decaydance and Columbia Records. The band released one studio album and three EPs generating a lot of buzz. The band toured extensively with groups such as Fall Out Boy and All Time Low. In 2011 the band went on hiatus and from here Cassadee Pope decided to pursue her solo career.
In 2012 Cassadee Pope auditioned for the third season of the American talent show The Voice. Mentored by Blake Shelton, the singer moved away from the pop-punk stylings she had developed with Hey Monday and moved into country where her voice shone. The singer achieved multiple number one successes on the iTunes downloads chart with her performances on the television show; she even managed to knock PSY’s “Gangnam Style” off the number one spot with her performance of “Over You”.
Cassadee Pope went on to win the 2012 contest and her subsequent fame and fan base helped push her debut solo album, “Frame By Frame” to the top of the American Country Music Chart and to the number nine spot of the Billboard 200 chart. The first single from the album, “Wasting All These Tears”, was a top 10 success, peaking at the number five spot of the US Country Music Chart. The single sold so many copies that it was eventually certified platinum.
Cassadee Pope has toured extensively since 2012 across the United States and Canada. She has performed with the likes of Train, Tim McGraw, Rascal Flatts and Randy Houser.
