Born in Rockville, MD, Cassandra (Pinataro) began singing as soon as she could speak. She grew up in Duluth, GA before moving to Binghamton, NY for middle school and high school. Her family now resides in Atlanta, GA. “Every city I’ve lived in has taught me something about myself and the world around me,” she explains. “Although it was difficult to move often, I’m grateful f or the memories I have made and the lessons I have learned in each place.”
Cassandra began to dabble with her songwriting skills at High School, composing several pop songs but never releasing them. It wasn’t until the Coronavirus pandemic hit the U.S. in 2020 that she found what she loved most about the creative process of music. She started writing and co-writing pop music and began recording soon after.
As a trained opera singer, Cassandra has a vast vocal range that spans over four octaves. She has a fierce sound, with the ability to seamlessly weave in and out of tricky vocal runs that would trip up most singers. As an artist, her goal is to never treat two songs the same, thus developing a new sound for each one.
The Nashille-based pop singer/songwriter and reigning Miss Music City, Cassandra, recently released her new “Popera” single called “Queen of Every Night.” A new genre “Popera” is blending opera and pop music to create a new experience of music – by sampling opera arias, layering them on pop tracks, and writing and recording a pop song over the top of that track – that appeals to mainstream listeners.
The track took inspiration from classical pieces like the “Queen of the Night” aria from Mozart’s “The Magic Flute” and Pachelbel’s Cannon in D, as well as pop elements from today‘s hitmakers like Taylor Swift, Ariana Grande and Billie Eilish.
