Speaking recently to Louder's Liz Scarlett, Cassyette shared her excitement about the nascent nu gen's scene future.

“Rock is very much alive,” she insists. “ It's been very much alive this entire time because the core fan base has always been there and has always been listening. I just think  it's getting a chance to come back and have its own revival and it's turned into something else. It's getting really interesting; I actually think that this is going to be what carries it right to the top… and it will be right at the top.”
