Casey Garcia is a 27-year-old recording and performing artist from Toronto known for his vivid, emotionally driven songwriting and genre-blending sound. Drawing from personal experiences and rooted in a message of hope and self-acceptance, Casey’s music resonates with listeners seeking authenticity and inspiration.
Influenced by hip-hop legends like Lil Wayne, Drake, Kanye West, Jay-Z, and Kendrick Lamar, Casey began writing lyrics at 14 and released his first mixtape, Genius Child LP, on his 17th birthday.
