My
Work
Carolin Obernolte aka Caro Cassia is a German Composer & Songwriter who has been working together with talented musicians and newcomer artists from the US, Mexico, and Germany.
Inspired by artists like Alicia Keys, Lauryn Hill, Angus & Julia Stone, and John Mayer, she composes her Soul & RnB infused Pop songs on the piano using powerful chord progressions and melodies, which she ultimately complements with strong, profound lyrics.
Caro Cassia started playing the piano when she was 10. She was classically trained and soon developed a passion for songwriting. Her songs are characterized by catchy piano chords, creating nostalgic sounds, as well as profound lyrics – she loves storytelling to express her truth.
Besides her passion for Classical and Soul music, she loves to travel the world and to collaborate with artists wherever she goes to explore new sounds and styles. Besides writing songs for newcomer artists like Aurelia Coraggio (Cologne based Artist), she collaborates with talented musicians and producers from all over the world, such as Mikey Barla V (New York based Musician & Producer), BIG SAM (Cologne based Producer), Martin Gallo Schmidt (Cologne based Musician & Producer), Nico Pagni (New York based Record Producer & Engineer), Zach Kornhauser (Mastering Engineer), and others. Caro Cassia released her own first debut single in 2024 and will continue to release more songs as singer & songwriter.
Someone Undone
"Whenever I listen to this song, I feel the groove. I love the track, it's about transformation, self-empowerment, growth. It's one of the first songs I wrote and the first one that I released with Aurelia Coraggio." - Caro Cassia
We Are Lovers
"One day I was day dreaming about true love. The song is about how I wanted love to feel like. I hope the vibe represents this nostalgic feeling. Aurelia's delicate voice is bringing across vulnerability and passion. I love the sound of it." - Caro Cassia
Love is With You
"My songwriter friend Mike Guerriero from New York and I wrote the lyrics to this song while we were going out in Manhattan. We were having a little bit of a deep talk and were like "yeah, that's a killer line". So we took notes right away. When I got back home I played around with some chords on my piano and the song's melody came out of nowhere. I love the song, it gives me nostalgic summer vibes." - Caro Cassia
What's Love
"This song actually means the world to me.I love the contrasts in the lyrics, the acoustic sounds of the instruments, and Aurelia's beautiful voice. She is singing the melody and powerful harmonies better than anyone else could. I love working with her." - Caro Cassia
Enjoy the Ride
"I wrote the song when my friend Mikey Barla V, a very talented musician & producer from New York, and I were having a little jam session together in Brooklyn. I was playing some chords on the piano, Mikey jumped in with the guitar, and I came up with the melody and lyrics. I love the song, it gives me Californian beach vibes. Enjoy the Ride is the first song I ever sang and released myself." - Caro Cassia
Night Calling
"BÄM! What a banger! When I wrote this song in New York in 2023 I was thinking about dating experiences from my early twenties and about all my friends' drama dating stories. I was like: You know what? I'm gonna write a song about how macho / Casanova guys make us feel. Tune in and enjoy! I am very proud of the lyrics and I love the production and vocals. Aurelia and I were working together with the talented producer Martin Gallo from Cologne, Germany." - Caro Cassia
Day and Night
"Well, what can I say... I wrote this song after having met someone very special. I was inspired by this incredible human being and when I got to my Mikey Barla V's studio in Greenpoint, New York, the lyrics and melody just kept flowing. I love the song's Motown vibe. We produced the dope guitars in Manhattan, New York, and the piano as well as vocals in Mexico City." - Caro Cassia
