As a lead vocalist Cass has been in and out of Rock Bands for the past 25 years, the last was Seduce, They played gig's with bands like Great White, L A Guns, hangin with David Lee Roth or Carmine Appice at Gazzari's in the old days, Randy Piper from Wasp and alot of assorted 80'S Rockers at the Heads party house in Hollywood back in the day. It was one of the shows back in those days he was given the moniker "Hollywood James", of course David Lee already had taken Diamond Dave. I alway's thought Diamond Jim would have been cool. Then my friends in Mexico started calling me Hollywood Jimito(pronounced Himito), Oh well. In the 90's he started playing more Guitar and got some gig's at local coffee house's one of which was Java Joe's in Ocean Beach in San Diego(that's where they found Jewel). Nothing much panned out from that and he moved back to L.A. to be closer to his Girlfriend(who became his wife) and went to work for Premiere Publishing, that company was owned by his Childhood friends, Rick & Scott. Cass say's,We did Art shows and combined them with Music Festivals. One artist we worked with was a child prodigy named Beso. We also managed a Rock Group called Bar 7 that included Jeff Keith and a couple other former Tesla band members. What a trip Jeff Keith is and one funny dude. We also managed a group called the Pimps and got them a deal with Hollywood records and the Pimps ended up on the original Mission Impossible Soundtrack. Cass was also fortunate enough to work with the infamous Ritchie Wise(The guy who produced the first 2 Kiss Albums. It was at this Job. he started to see that he was getting over the darkness of the music industry and started focusing on how he could be a light in it. Cass started Playing predominatly Christian Rock/Contemporary worship music and old Hymns in the 2000's and started playing Celebrate Recovery's and for the last 5 years he's been playing those. He started getting good feedback so he continues to rock venues with his original material along with playing CR's and Long Beach rescue mission in Long Beach Ca, and anywhere else he can find a mic and plug in his guitar
