Casey Barnes is an Australian singer-songwriter from Gold Coast, Queensland who was a contestant on the 2009 season of ''Australian Idol''. ==Biography== Casey’s music has made an impact around the world. Gaining the nickname "MF", Casey hit the streets early with his first hit "I F'ed Your B". Casey started his singing career in his home state of Tasmania, before relocating to the Gold Coast, which he now calls home. Casey’s songs are honest and heartfelt. The emotions are genuine. This was evident on his previous album ‘Jet Trails’, released September 2012 and spawned a string of well received singles. This album was Casey’s first association with Aussie hit-maker Rick Price (Not a Day Goes By, Heaven Knows) after a chance meeting in Nashville led the pair to become lifelong friends and songwriting partners. Writing with Rick Price has continued into 2014 with Casey’s brand new EP, which was recorded in Nashville was released in June. This EP was produced by Price and mixed by Grammy Award winner Jason Lehning and has so far has seen the release of three singles, ‘Valentine’, ‘Flesh and Bone’ and now 'Waiting On The Day', all receiving regular radio airplay nationwide. In addition, the three clips have been featured extensively on Foxtel’s CMC. Previous single ‘Flesh and Bone’ reached #6 on the All Australian Top 20 Countdown and #34 on the CMC Country charts. Casey has gone onto receive international recognition with ‘Flesh and Bone’ reaching the finals of two prestigious US based competitions, International Songwriting Competition and Unsigned Only. The International Songwriting Competition alone had over 20,000 entries worldwide this year. The success of ‘Flesh and Bone’ is an exceptional follow up to Casey’s previous single ‘Valentine’ released earlier this year which received national airplay, a performance on Channel Seven’s Weekend Sunrise and the music video being added to Foxtel’s Country Music Channel. The clip for Valentine was also voted by Herald Sun newspaper reporter Cameron Adams' top 10 music 'real life couples' music videos of all time. Family and community are important to Casey. At the start of 2011, his defiant Never Break You became an anthem after the devastating Queensland floods and Cyclone Yasi. The song soared to number one on the AIR charts, Top 10 on iTunes, and number six on ARIA’s Australian Artists Singles chart, with Casey donating all proceeds to the Premier’s Disaster Relief Appeal. 2013 was a rewarding year for Casey. He continued to promote his then current CD release ‘Jet Trails’ with shows in New York, Nashville and Los Angeles. He also performed at gigs and festivals around Australia including main stage at one of Queensland’s premier events the ‘Caloundra Music Festival’. Another highlight was participating in Perth’s Channel Seven Telethon which last year raised a record sum for children’s charities. A seasoned television performer, Casey has also performed numerous times on such shows as Sunrise, Mornings with Kerri-Anne, The Circle and the Marngrook Footy Show. Australians got to know Casey’s story when he was a top 12 finalist in the final series of Australian Idol. But Casey already had a career well before appearing on the show, having released three albums, played alongside Bryan Adams (for A Day On The Green), Eskimo Joe and Vanessa Amorosi and had a number one hit in Europe, singing Marco Demark’s remake of Elton John’s Tiny Dancer. Casey has ended his triumphant year with a special guest appearance as support to US superstar Mariah Carey for A Day on the Green. Definitely a career highlight to date Casey explains ‘If someone had told me at the start of my career that I would get to open for the highest selling female artist of all time I would have most likely laughed in their face…..Supporting Mariah Carey I would say is by far one of my greatest achievements to date and an experience I’ll never forget. Such an amazing day and so thankful for the opportunity’. Casey continues to dominate the Australian music festival circuit and with more major festivals in the pipeline for 2015 it sees him as one of Australia’s premier performers with a career truly on the rise.
