CAS DU PREE WAS BORN AS THE ELDEST OF 2, IN SCHIEDAM, ZUID-HOLLAND, AS MICHAEL CASSANDER DU PREE (1987). IN 1997 HE PARTICIPATED IN THE VARA CHILDREN SONG CONTEST AND MANAGED TO PLACE IN THE TOP 5 OF ZUID-HOLLAND. HE SANG THE SONG 'WITTE MUIZEN' OF KINDEREN VOOR KINDEREN. IN 1998 HE PARTICIPATED AGAIN WITH THE SONG '100 AVONTUREN' AND GOT INTO TOP 5 AGAIN.
AFTER THAT, SINGING WAS PUT ON HOLD UNTIL HE WENT TO A KARAOKE BAR IN 2007. THIS IS WHERE HE SANG 'DON'T LET THE SUN GO DOWN ON ME' FROM ELTON JOHN. SOON HE WAS ASKED TO COMPETE IN REGIONAL TALENT SHOWS. IT WAS 2008 WHEN A SCOUT APPROACHED HIM VIA YOUTUBE. HE WAS ASKED TO AUDITION FOR A BOYBAND. WITHIN ONE WEEK THEY RECORDED THEIR FIRST SINGLE, BUT THE BOYBAND NEVER RELEASED.
IN 2009 CAS MOVED TO THE EASTERN PART OF THE NETHERLANDS AND STARTED TAKING VOCAL LESSONS. EVER SINCE THAT TIME HE PLAYED MULTIPLE ROLES IN AMATEUR MUSICALS TOGETHER WITH HIS BOYFRIEND. THEY GOT MARRIED IN 2015 IN BRUMMEN, WHERE THEY ALSO LIVE.
HIS DEBUT SINGLE 'A BETTER ME' WAS RELEASED IN 2020 AND IS ABOUT SETTING ASIDE INSECURITIES AND FOLLOWING YOUR DREAMS. AFTER THIS SINGLE HE STARTED WORKING TOWARDS AN AUTOBIOGRAPHIC ALBUM, WITH DIFFICULT SUBJECTS COATED IN POP/ROCK BALLADS. IN 2020/2021 HE RELEASED A FEW COVERS. THESE SINGLES WERE FOLLOWED UP BY AN ORIGINAL COLLABORATION WITH THE DUTCH PRODUCER IDRIS89. THE SINGLE 'IDGAF' WAS A SUNNY DANCE TRACK AND SHOWED A DIFFERENT SIDE OF CAS.
HIS ALBUM 'GETTING TO KNOW ME' RELEASED MAY 13TH 2022. SINCE 2023 HE HAS HIS OWN RADIO SHOW CALLED BANGING SARCASM WHERE HE FOCUSES ON INDEPENDENT POP MUSIC IN THE WIDEST OF FORM. 2024 WILL PRESENT HIS NEW EP NEON NIGHTS WHICH HAS 2 BRAND NEW SONGS ON IT, AND A VIDEO WILL BE PRESENTED SHORTLY AFTER RELEASE.
