Before Australian Idol, Casey had already made his mark on the music industry.

One of his biggest career highlights was opening for Bryan Adams at the outdoor concert series, A Day on the Green.

Casey since has gone on to play shows alongside big-name Australian acts including Eskimo Joe, Vanessa Amorosi, The Whitlams, Jack Jones and Diesel.

Casey’s rework of Elton John’s classic, Tiny Dancer, reached number one on the dance charts in the UK, and then went onto reach top five throughout Europe, including number one in Italy. Tiny Dancer reached the top 5 in Australia.

While Casey’s personal love of music and passion for performing is evident, he is also committed to organising a series of successful charity concerts to raise funds for chronically ill 10 year old Connor Maclean, who suffers from the rare health condition VACTERL Syndrome.
