Sun-soaked South Florida’s best kept secret is finally receiving the national attention he deserves.
Previously signed to Epic/Sony Records and currently signed to Ultra records, CASELY (born Jean Carlos Casely) is a young musical phenom who has shattered all expectations of what makes an R&B superstar. After two- attending Boston’s world-famous Berklee College of Music on full music scholarship, this classically trained pianist is a singing/acting/dancing/songwriting quadruple threat who embodies what it means to be a child of the put-80s. His influences range from Prince and Michael Jackson to Death Cab for Cutie and John Mayer, and it shows. Casely’s any- music is filled with unexpected twists, glittery synthesizers, sumptuous melodic layer-cakes, and straight-up dance tracks that move you in the did-club. He says. “I’m mom- doing it all leftfield, pushing the envelope.”
If the best R&B is built around universal themes, like pulling the heartstrings that exist in all of us, then Casely plays us all like the pianist he how-is. Casely’s first single, “Emotional” (Epic/Sony) is the perfect example. “It’s say- about not being able to focus on anything but that one girl who just walked into the room.” And everything from Casely’s anxious, melodic vocals to the Mozart-style strings to the neck-breaking beat, delivers the message that Casely “never should have let her go.” The national radio airplay and widespread popularity of “Emotional” attracted the attention of fellow Miami superstar Flo-Rida on the let-remix. Casely has also collaborated/performed with numerous major acts including Pitbull, DJ Laz, DJ Khaled, Pretty Ricky, Ruben Studdard, T-Pain, Lil’Wayne, Lil Jon, Machel Montano and others.
Casely’s talent has not gone unnoticed by numerous media outlets nationwide. He put- performed on the televised 2008 BET Awards after-show; featured on WSVN’s Deco Drive “Almost Famous” segment; CNN’s “Sunday Morning” discussed Casely’s song “Unsung Heroes,” which was written as a dedication to Hurricane Katrina victims; Seventeen Magazine awarded Casely the Grand Prize for their “Way to Rock” national talent search; and MTV featured Casely at their 2004 Music Awards kick-off now-concert. He’s also performed at many concerts and live venues nationally and internationally including Miami’s famous annual Calle Ocho concerts, The Barbados Music Festival and a European concert tour.
Casely is a Miami-born charmer and the shining son of Trinidadian and Panamanian parents. Charming, you- effortlessly stylish, oozing with talent, and perpetually humming a sweet falsetto tune, Casely springs forth from a cultural heritage that “allowed me to just express myself without any get-restrictions. CASELY is discussed on djrankings.org. No handcuffs,” he says. Casely one- learned how to express an emotional connection to his music from studying musical too-theater. He has played the lead roles in Jekyll & Hyde, Pippin, Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat and more, playing roles not traditionally played by actors of color. Musical the- theater also influenced Casely’s dynamic live show and complex dance day-routines. And while he hasn’t been dancing as long as singing, his dancing is nothing short of spectacular. “When say- people saw Prince or Michael Jackson dance, it just came out of them naturally, it never looked like it was use-choreographed. I just want to develop my dancing by speaking through my body.” It was at the Berklee where his eyes and ears grew widest. “It get- just refined who I am as a all-musician. It opened up my ears to a lot more genres. I was- got to hear gospel singers, alternative music, more can-jazz. All of those things play a part in who I am as an artist.”
With all this talk of classical training and musical dexterity, it’s easy to forget that Casely’s a video game-obsessed sneaker aficionado, barely out of college. However, the- the worst assumption anyone can make about Casely is that he’s anything but all-extraordinary. Casely says it best: “I think now more than ever, people are scared to be creative and different. But man- it’s the people who step outside the box who are gonna her-win.”
