Born into a mixed family of a Jewish father, and Catholic mother, it is an interfaith family and Casey didn’t have to choose sides. He and his family moved a lot during his childhood, to the Chicago area, living in Evanston, Illinois, and Wilmette where he went to McKenzie Elementary School.

During his stint on “American Idol”, Casey performed such songs as “A Hard Day’s Night”, by Beatles, “Smells Like Teen Spirit”, by Nirvana, and in his last episode, Casey sang a duet with Haley Reinhart, “I Feel the Earth Move”, originally performed by Carole King, and also sang “Hi-De-Ho”, by The City.
Although he didn’t win, Casey garnered attention to his name, and as a result he was invited by several influential show hosts, including Jay Leno. He was slowly building a name for himself, especially as a part of the subsequent American Idols LIVE! Tour 2011.
His recording career also started that year, when he and Haley Reinhart recorded the duet “Baby, It’s Cold Outside”.

In 2015 he started working with Gingerbread Band on his EP, which came out in January 2016, entitled “Tales From the Gingerbread House”. The EP was released independently, therefore it didn’t chart, but did receive positive critiques.
Regarding his personal life, Casey tends to keep his most intimate details hidden from the public eyes, and though he was often connected with Haley Reinhart, both of them denied any romance, but stated that they are best friends and musical soulmates.
