Recognizing, even before the pandemic, that the mental health of students needed to be supported and nurtured, this Berklee College of Music alum expanded beyond her commercial releases to launch a “You Matter” tour. The tour, targeting students from primary to secondary education, has impacted more than 40,000 to date and landed her recognition from The United Nations Foundation and a spotlight on the Kelly Clarkson Show. “The ‘You Matter’ tour is a concert series that uses my music & stories to help students treat themselves & others with empathy & respect,” says Casey. “Getting to connect with thousands of young fans all over the world has profoundly influenced me as an artist. Recently, I got an email from a 6th grade girl who was being bullied for her brain cancer. She thanked me for changing her life & improving how the other students treated her. That was one of the most humbling moments of my life. Stories like these keep me performing & making honest music.”
