About the Artist
2010 has seen a determined and focused effort from the Orlando-based singer to spur a change. His drive to spread the spirit of rebellion has only been amplified by the release of his latest EP, appropriately titled ‘The New Century.’ Spanning just under twenty minutes, its five tracks constitute an anthemic call to arms, encouraging listeners to reject corporate-sponsored defeatism and live, as he says, “like real human beings.” With plans to release a full-length album and tour through as many cities as possible, 2010 seems to be the mere beginning of what is to be a successful career in the arts. Showing no signs of hindrance or hesitation, Kasmi hopes to spread his fire to as broad of an audience as he can. Being the ambitious and driven individual that he is, it is safe to assume that one can expect no less than that.Achievements
