Cassio Monroe

Things have moved fast for duo Cassio Monroe, and they would not have it any other way.

"We met up on a Monday with the idea, were immediately on the same page, nailed down the direction of our sound, wrote several choruses, and a day later were asked to sit in at a writers night," recalls Tripp Weir of the duo. "There was immediate response, which of course added fuel to the fire."

Only a few months later Cassio Mornoe were packing local clubs in Nashville, TN. In just over a year, Cassio Monroe has scored over a half dozen major TV placements on networks such as ABC, E!, Nickelodeon, and the NFL Network. In early January of 2013, as reported on Billboard.com, Cassio Monroe entered a deal with HitShop Records / Warner Music Nashville. Both Weir and Jeff Garrison were past solo artists, but together as a duo things just clicked. Weir, who raps and sings on stage, is refreshed by the creative partnership. "To finally feel like I'm being myself with my music is a very liberating experience."

Now their debut single, "Shake That", is making noise and carries an impressive remix package from prominent DJ's and EDM artists, including JUMP SMOKERS, PAPERCHA$ER, DJ LYNNWOOD, DIRTY FREQS, MOORE, STR8JACKIT, and FELLI FEL.

Garrison notes, "as long as we're entertaining people in our own way, we'll keep doing what we're doing." Weir adds, "one of the reasons I started making music in the first place was because it made me move, made me dance." One thing is certain: If Cassio Monroe's fast pace continues a lot more people will be dancing!
