Her impressive musical journey includes a memorable performance of Gwen Stefani’s "The Sweet Escape" on Like A Version. She has also shared stages with renowned artists such as Thelma Plum and Tina Arena, and recently earned a spot on Brisbane’s Walk of Fame.
A Rich Tradition of Storytelling
As a proud Gumbaynggirr and Bundjalung woman, Cassar-Daley integrates a rich narrative tradition into her music. With "Tidal Wave," she opens another meaningful chapter, characterized by both personal insights and a quiet strength.
