I didn’t go onto ‘The Voice’ thinking I was going to go country. I went into it with an open mind and thought whatever happens, happens. Cassadee Pope Read Quote
Growing up in Florida was really amazing. I spent most my time at the beach. Cassadee Pope Read Quote
Growing up, I tried to be involved in school a lot, and I had good grades. I was an active kid, and I loved being social. Cassadee Pope Read Quote
I just always loved the storytelling aspect. Even with the production that’s happening right now in music, I still think the core of country songs are very stripped down, and they tell a story in the most pure sense. Cassadee Pope Read Quote
It’s something that I’ve always done. I started singing when I was four years old; that was the first time I took a voice lesson. I would say, maybe from five years on, I sang on stages constantly. That’s what I call my natural habitat: It’s a place where I feel most like myself and the most confident, the most excited. Cassadee Pope Read Quote
As a songwriter, I’ve always loved to tell stories. But in my band, it was always about what would make sense for a band to put out. Cassadee Pope Read Quote
I love country and rock, and I wanted to fuse them together. But I also knew that there were certain elements that needed to still be there to be both country and cater to my old fans. Cassadee Pope Read Quote
I obviously appreciate all the fans I gained from my band, but there weren’t enough of them to make me a very successful artist. To me, being successful is selling a lot of records and selling out big venues on tour, and it’s not up to anyone else to decide what success is for me. Cassadee Pope Read Quote
I really love that song. I love when people cover songs that are familiar but have been kind of forgotten about. So when you play it, it takes people back to a certain place. That’s what I wanted for ‘Torn.’ Cassadee Pope Read Quote
I always want to pick songs that are really crazy rangy, and sometimes those low notes aren’t there. But I started taking it way more seriously after a certain point, and I started doing vocal warm-ups every day, even when I wasn’t singing, sometimes twice a day. Cassadee Pope Read Quote
