Latest single: Sweet Fool
Her latest single, "Sweet Fool", is one of her most personal releases to date. Recorded in Nashville with acclaimed Australian artist and producer Rick Price, the song began life years earlier during a quiet moment while Caddy was working as a primary school teacher.
Escaping to a small music room during a planning period, she sat at the piano and found herself pouring out feelings she had carried for years: the longing to follow her true creative calling.
"The song is a calling to follow your true dream and inspiration"
“Caddy's heartfelt ballads and effusive, beckoning pop/rock tracks are infused with passion and vulnerability, alongside immediate melodies and catchy hooks.”
