Cassis

Cassis Birgit Staudt is a singer and recording artist who toured the US, Europe, Mexico and India with her former band “b-blush” and her DJ project “scratch’Nsniff”.

At age 21 she left the Hamburg University of music to start producing movies in Germany for Matthias Glasner and later moved to New York. There she produced music videos (Tom Waits/Neil Young) for Jim Jarmusch and three segments of his feature film “Coffee and Cigarettes”. One of them starring Iggy Pop and Tom Waits won the Cannes International Filmfestival. Inspired by co-directing/producing the documentary on the virtuoso guitaristMarc Ribot “Descent Into Baldness” Cassis launched her own music. Because of all her film experiences Cassis naturally gravitated towards writing music for movies.

She wrote the score for the Oscar nominated “Ferry Tales”, “Vertical Traveler”, the award winning feature “Die Boxerin/About A Girl” amongst others and released the CDs "heartcore" and "you are here". Her latest band boxerin with bassist Herbie Flowers (known for “Walk on the Wild Side”) is currently working on the album “flypaperthin…”. www.cassisvision.com
