Lady Bain
Lady Bain is an R&B sensation coming
out of Detroit. In an era when so many
artists try to stake a claim to be ‘real’,
Lady Bain has walked a path that makes
her more ‘real’ than most.
Just four years ago Cassandra Bain was
a hard working Detroit police officer
who found herself in a near fatal car
accident. It ended her career and
tragedy struck again when she lost the
love of her life to dementia. Real life
can be painful, but can also guide us to
new places. A chance visit from a high
school friend reminded Cassandra of a
special talent, tucked away. During her
rehabilitation she began to sing again,
and Bain is no ordinary singer.
Drawing passion and soul from her Baptist Church singing roots, Lady Bain’s voice is also cut
through with the pain and rawness of a real life, lived. Influenced by Nat King Cole, Sam
Cooke, Nancy Wilson, to name just a few, Lady Bain’s vocal is both classic and fresh. Her
unique phrasing marks her out as an R&B talent with something worth paying special
attention to. Lady Bains’s island heritage adds edge and spice to a sophisticated performance;
the truth of her life experience forges an original sound that echoes the legendary singers
that shaped her style. Bain even started out in the 80s singing alongside the legendary
Martha Reeves. There is integrity here; style and real substance. Available across all social
media platforms and about to make a splash on the scene, such is her gift, Lady Bain simply
demands to be heard. Seek out a modern-day classic - listen to Lady Bain today.
