Today, Australian rock sensation CASSIDY PARIS is thrilled to unveil her new single, “Stronger,” featuring a special guest appearance by Pete Lesperance of Harem Scarem, out now via Frontiers Music Srl. "Stronger" arrives accompanied by a visualizer, available to view below.
CASSIDY comments on the new single:
“This is a song about my experiences in life dealing with situations that can be difficult to get through. I thought it would be only fitting to record this as it's become an anthem to remind me that in life there will always be people who try and bring you down. I love performing this song on stage with my dad and Wicked Smile, even though some people thought I didn't belong here. A big thanks to all the people who got behind me on this and helped put my own stamp on this song - my dad, Paul Laine, Pete Lesperance, Pete Newdeck, Harry Hess & Frontiers Music.”
Watch the Visualizer for “Stronger"
As a teenager growing up in Australia, there’s likely very few others out there with ambitions of being a “rock star.” Especially considering rock music isn’t exactly regarded by the mainstream as the “coolest” thing in the 2020’s. However, 22 year old CASSIDY PARIS is an exception.
CASSIDY is determined to make rock music a ‘cool’ thing again and inspire a new generation of younger fans to not only listen to rock ‘n’ roll, but maybe even pick up a guitar, instead of a phone.
At the age of 11, CASSIDY met singer songwriter Paul Laine (ex Danger Danger, The Defiants), who developed a unique mentoring role. Paul took CASSIDY under his wing to help develop her as an artist and songwriter, collaborating with her in songwriting and producing her music.
From early on, CASSIDY has wanted to deliver a strong message through her music. In 2018 she released the song “Stand,” a heartfelt song about standing up for yourself as a young woman.
CASSIDY continues to deliver that message, promoting anti-bullying through performances at many schools around Melbourne, Australia and is an active campaigner for the worldwide ‘Metalheads Against Bullying’ organization. CASSIDY has also built up a strong connection with her growing worldwide fanbase that has already seen her perform in America, Japan and the UK with the band.
CASSIDY PARIS released her debut full length album titled ‘New Sensation’ in December 2023 to critical acclaim. “My debut album is 80s infused, mixed with a current vibe. Influenced by Rock Gods such as Debbie Harry, Pat Benatar, Joan Jett & Lita Ford, I'm keen to put my spin on things in a modern original way”, she declared.
CASSIDY PARIS recently embarked on a European Tour where she supported AOR legends Harem Scarem in April 2025. She also performed at festivals such as Frontiers Rock Festival Italy and Chti Rock France. CASSIDY is looking forward to performing at the Monsters Of Rock Cruise in 2026 and returning to the UK for a full headline tour.
CASSIDY is endorsed by Fender Guitars, Ernie Ball & Wornstar Clothing.
