Stunning Atlantic Records artist Cassie releases her single, ‘Is It You’ on May 12th. The first lady of P. Diddy’s Bad Boy label first came on the scene with her self-titled debut in 2006. Spawning such hits as the hypnotic Top 10 - ‘Me & U’ as well as the ‘ladies anthem’ ‘Long Way 2 Go’, which saw her confidently rap-singing over a rhythmic, infectious bass-line with sassy lyrics, Cassie returns to the fore with another Ryan Leslie produced gem. The single, ‘Is It You’, is taken from Step Up 2 The Streets – The Original Motion Soundtrack which accompanies the Touchstone Pictures film, where Cassie also makes her acting debut. The soundtrack also includes music from Missy Elliott, Flo Rida and Trey Songs to name a few, storming the UK compilation chart at number 3, and still resides in the Top 10 a month later. Born and raised in New London CT, by seventh grade Cassie was dancing, acting, singing, composing and playing the piano, and at 14 Cassie began modelling, spending the summer in NYC’s Hells Kitchen at 15 to focus on the competitive fashion world. After graduating from high school Cassie moved to NYC in 2004 and through mutual friends met up and coming producer Ryan Leslie. Very soon, she signed on the dotted line to Ryan’s production company NextSelection. Cassie’s sophomore album is set for release in September.
