Cass Fox (produced by Rollo)

Rollo produced some tracks for a female singer named Cassandra Fox. On earlier releases her name appeared just as "Cass", this has been replaced on later releases by "Cass Fox".
Cass
Cass
(Some quotes from www.cassmusic.net):
Cass (Cassandra Fox) grew up in North London, the only girl in a large, working-class Irish family. As her songs make clear, this wasn't always easy. But there was always music. From an early age, she would sing in Irish pubs and win talent contests. But when it came to choosing a career, she didn't even see this as an option. She followed a schoolmate into nursery nursing, then went to secretarial college and worked as a temp, moving on to a series of dead-end jobs that ended with her servicing fruit machines to get a company car.
The final piece to the puzzle was to find the right producer. After playing the song to Rollo Armstrong at his studio, he immediately declared he wanted to work with her. But he had commitments with Dido and Faithless, so in the meantime she hooked up with Craig Dodds (Sugababes) and wrote three songs with him. "That was brilliant, it was like a therapy session - getting all my angst out."
Rollo brought in a splash of colour, helping her find a sexier, sassier side. At times on her album you can hear the influence of her childhood heroine Dolly Parton. At others, you hear the strong, clear voice of performers like Annie Lennox, Tracy Chapman or Kate Bush. Her tales of family strife have even drawn comparisons to Eminem. But ultimately, Cass is just herself. Which is exactly what she's fought to be.
