Australian-bred, LA-based singer-songwriter VASSY is returning to her artistic roots.
Following a decade as one of the premier vocalists in dance music – a vaunted career that has seen her score a 14x certified platinum record for her David Guetta-collaboration “Bad” and a 9x platinum song for her Tiësto-collaboration “Secrets,” and become the first woman ever to win the EDMA Icon Award – VASSY is tracing her steps back to an earlier era of her creative output.
Hailing from a small town in Australia, VASSY’s first formative music memory was being kicked out of her primary school’s choir at seven years-old, an experience that kick started her passion for music and ingrained into her an important message she lives by to this day: every rejection is an opportunity for redirection.
VASSY’s journey then continued in her native-country, as she rose through the Sydney music industry and gained local fame through her soulful, grandiose vocal prowess and songwriting skills. But when Sydney started to feel artistically limiting, she took the opportunity to move to New York, where she battled through adversity to become a regular presence in commercials and found her work attached to the trailer for Disney’s smash hit Frozen.
Soon enough, she became a staple in the dance music scene and was crowned as the queen of EDM, further proving one thing: even through the bevy of experiences and setbacks that came with moving countries and navigating a male-dominated space, VASSY still came out on top, transforming every missed opportunity into a space for personal and creative growth.
Now, after years spent in the upper echelon of the electronic music industry, VASSY is evolving once again with the release of her new LP, ‘Supreme’ – a seven-track project that showcases VASSY’s endless versatility and contains a tracklist that ranges from reggaetón heaters to heart-tugging ballads. Stemming from a frustrating bout of creative claustrophobia, ‘Supreme’ represents a return to the genre-defying, soul sound of VASSY’s earliest material.
