Casey MQ
Casey MQ is an artist, composer, and producer from Toronto, now living in Los Angeles. Growing up, Casey’s adoration for pop music intersected with his training as a classical pianist. As he got older Casey began to work more closely with electronic music. In 2020, he shared his debut album, ‘babycasey’, which gave voice to songs seen through the lens of childhood. The release coincided with various film score work, collaborations with artists such as Oklou, Shygirl, Eartheater, Empress of and Vagabon, and his co-founding of the Covid-era queer virtual club, Club Quarantine. Casey’s gifts as a producer and songwriter are rooted in textural world-building and the excavation of personal truth. With his 2024 Ghostly International debut, ‘Later that day, the day before, or the day before’, he questions what is true entirely, understanding our mind's tendency to bend and project onto pictures of the past. Across vivid, baroque pop balladry, Casey MQ reorients his recording project and point of view under the notion that memories are malleable. All the joy, pain, love, and loss housed within remembrance is open to interpretation and deconstruction, which he does deftly, with curiosity and complete artistic freedom.
