Born in Rockville, MD, Cassandra (Pinataro) began singing as soon as she could speak. She grew up in Duluth, GA before moving to Binghamton, NY for middle school and high school. Her family now resides in Atlanta, GA. \u201cEvery city I\u2019ve lived in has taught me something about myself and the world around me,\u201d she explains. \u201cAlthough it was difficult to move often, I\u2019m grateful for the memories I have made and the lessons I have learned in each place.\u201d\u00a0

In high school, Cassandra\u00a0began to dabble with her songwriting skills, composing several pop songs but never releasing them. It wasn\u2019t until the Coronavirus pandemic hit the U.S. in 2020 that she found what she loved most about the creative process of music. She started writing and co-writing pop music and began recording soon after.
As a trained opera singer, Cassandra has a vast vocal range that spans over four octaves. She has a fierce sound, with the ability to seamlessly weave in and out of tricky vocal runs that would trip up most singers.\u00a0\u00a0As an artist, her goal is to never treat two songs the same, thus developing a new sound for each one.
Cassandra\u00a0graduated from the\u00a0New England Conservatory of Music\u00a0<\/em>with a Bachelor’s degree in\u00a0Classical Voice Performance. In late 2023, she graduated from Berklee College of Music<\/em> with a Masters in Music Business and a 4.0 GPA. Her 35-page thesis paper revolved around the concept of “Popera” music.
Cassandra was also a finalist in the 2023 John Lennon Songwriting Contest.<\/em><\/a>
With a combined total almost 500K<\/strong>\u00a0streams on Spotify, Cassandra uses her talent to spread encouraging messages through her music.\u00a0<\/p>\n
