Two years ago Guy Cassidy was globe-trotting, trying to find his place in the world. Now hes a London-based, million-hit myspace musical phenomenon and an Xfm download winner who is about to launch his first self-produced single into the UK Charts.

Although he may sound English, Cassidy actually hails from Chicago, Illinois, yet his success is all down to his new-found home. While several publications already declared a British Invasion to the US Billboard charts, it was on a two-week vacation to London that Cassidy discovered his unknown musical talent. I was asked to audition for a boyband, he explains. I got into that and a punk band in the same week!

They taught me how to play the guitar and keyboard. Then I left, and the next day wrote my first solo song.

That song was Annabelle. About to be launched for download on amazon.com and iTunes, its partly based on a relationship that ended shortly before he moved to London, and it led to Cassidy winning Xfms 2008 Download competition with over 80% of the votes, as well as becoming a massive Myspace and Youtube hit.

In addition to writing and singing, Cassidy insisted on producing the single Annabelle. From forming the idea to producing the final mix, Guy Cassidy is paving the way for independent musicians, hoping to grab the attention of a global audience.
