Making a Scene Presents an Interview with Cassius King and the Downtown Rulers

Every musician has a dream of making music their livelihood. But the reality of the situation is that very few have the opportunity to make a living solely from their art. Cassius King is no exception.

Cassius has spent the last 25 years in entertainment as an audio engineer and production manager for some of the biggest names in the business. “Honestly, I had to make a hard choice between feeding my family and chasing my dream. At the end of the week, the $100 a night gig didn’t cut it.” Never loosing his focus, Cassius continued with his love of music by providing production and engineering for television, concert and events. One of the many unsung heroes that make every show possible. “ I continued to write, and continued to play in my spare time knowing and having faith that someday it may be my turn. For me personally, God is in charge and things happen on his clock not mine”.

The Cassius King camp has attracted some of the best Contemporary Blues Musicians on the West Coast and continues to grow with the addition of BMA and Grammy Award Winning Producer Dave Darling driving the upcoming release of his 1st EP.
