Artist Name: Kassandra Clack
Hometown: Maple Ridge, BC

What project(s) are you currently working on?

My debut album “Trippin’ In Heels” has been a work in progress for over a year now – writing and producing this record, spanning from Vancouver to Toronto and even Nashville. I am beside myself that these stories will finally be available everywhere this Friday, May 12th

What inspired you to pursue a career in music and when did you know?

I knew when I was 8 years old that through songwriting was how I was finding my voice and connecting with people

If you weren’t pursuing a career in music, what would you be doing for a living?

I would be teaching music to grade 1 students!

What is your favorite downtime activity?

Probably re-decorating a different room in our house every few weeks. My family never knows where anything is. You’re welcome.

Who is your biggest celebrity crush?

Oooh, spicy. My biggest celebrity crush would probably be Olivia Pope. Scandal. She a boss. Need I say more. Kerry Washington truly allows me to connect with my inner “Sacha Fierce.” Oh wait, is my celeb crush actually Beyonce?

Who is your favorite sports team(s)?

Houston Astros or the Chicago Cubs! I spent some of my summers in Houston, Texas growing up and relished the “live sports game” energy! Just after I graduated, I had the opportunity to explore Chicago when invited to the “Open House” at Columbia University (Picture a real life “Glee”). I adored the prospect of getting to attend such a beast of a music industry program and being footloose and fancy free!

What is the last movie that you watched?

Oooh, Interstellar! Anne Hathaway, I mean come on!!

What is the last album you listened to?

Sabrina Carpenter’s “Emails I Can’t Send”

If you could only listen to one album for the rest of your life, what would it be?

Shania Twain’s double “UP” album – Pop/Country sides!

What is the greatest country song of all time?

Anything Randy Travis

What has been your favorite city/town that you’ve visited out on the road?

Toronto

What is your favorite meal?

I am a pasta girl served with any kind of chocolate dessert always

Who is your dream duet partner?

Justin Timberlake

Who would you like to go on tour with?

Justin Timberlake!

What is your ultimate career goal(s)?

World domination, of course!
