Band/artist history
Casey started in the biz as a guitar player in an alternative rock band at the age of 12. Over the years was influenced into the more urban genre, he started to make "beats" and recording local MC's. It wasn't long before he ran into Young D, or Detroit as they called him. Detroit had just moved to the east suburb of Toronto from the US and started recording song after song in Casey's basemnet using a computer, DJ mixer and Headphones to rap through. The songs were a hit in the neighbourhood. At this point they had also added a few members to the group. DJ Diverse who made beats and rhymed and warlord another MC. Over the years the recorded and sold 3 different underground albums to the Toronto and Vancouver Greater area's, Sales totaling into the thousands. It wasn't long before Casey needed to enhance his skills so he whent to school to take Music Production and Engineering. Though that time Beat Bandits kept recording using the schools facilities and studio's througout Toronto. Beat Bandits also started to use R&B singers in there songs to give the music a more commercial apeal without losing the original underground hip hop feel.

Other than that, Beat Bandits will continue to make music because thats what they love regardless if they are not signed.
