cassidy haley

he looks strangely familiar to me… but anyway, yeah. cassidy haley is a young gay l.a. based rock-star, plays guitar and piano (ooh) his début album little boys and dinosaurs was listed as a top 10 album of the year by the houston chronicle. cassidy has another release in march and a u.s. tour in april.

so things are looking up for him since he decided to leave 8 years in fashion behind him. not that his fashion career wasn’t a success, in that time he had two labels and dressed stars like adam lambert and fergie to name a few, so maybe you’ve heard his name before.

he’d prefer his music to speak for itself but when pushed describes it as “electronic, pop, folk, goth, and glam-rock”. the new album will be more classic, glam-rock.

cassidy

his mum is a lesbian and his father is gay (sperm donor he met when he was 14) he tells us “i had my issues of course, especially with alienation at school. i had no idea boys weren’t supposed to play with barbie dolls…and while the trauma of being ridiculed took a long time to work through, i feel so grateful that my mother didn’t try to make me “conform” to social expectations, even at such a young age. i now have a free, independent spirit that wouldn’t have been as easy to hold on to otherwise, and really that has more to do with my mother’s philosophy of life than her sexual orientation. but I’m grateful either way.”

with the combination of fashion and music could cassidy be the male equivalent to lady gaga?

here’s some of his music videos. oh and he’s also doing video diary 6 months to become a superstar which is also on his youtube channel.
