Cassie Henderson: Kiwi Singer on her new music, her journey in the music industry - The Mike Hosking Breakfast

One of our brightest musical talents is making waves across the ditch, just in time for some new music to drop. 

Cassie Henderson arrived on our screens in 2014, competing on X-Factor at 14 years old, and making it all the way to the quarterfinals. 

She stepped away from music for a while, before returning to the industry in 2023, quitting her job to pursue music fulltime. 

Since then, Henderson’s won awards, released new music, and is currently competing on the The Voice Australia.

“It was the biggest opportunity for me to grow, and rise up, and test myself,” she said of performing on TV. 

“I get messages a lot from young people in New Zealand saying that I inspire them, which is always a huge dream, but it’s almost a little bittersweet because I know how long I’ve been working at this, and I know how long I haven’t had success for.” 

“It’s a really tough gig, but it's always been my passion, and it’s what I love the most in the world, so it’s no question for me.”
