Bio

Casey Rain is an internationally renowned songwriter, performer and musician known for his work with pioneering British Asian collective Swami. Swami have released albums on Sony/BMG, EMI and Universal Records, and their songs have featured in films, video games and television, including both seasons of Netflix’s hit series Indian Matchmaking.

Following his debut solo single, "Drown," in early 2025, Casey is preparing to release "Drifting" in January 2027, accompanied by an ambitious music video filmed in Los Angeles. The single features keyboards by legendary musician and multi-platinum producer David Frank of The System, with mixing by seven-time GRAMMY Award-winning engineer Neal H. Pogue, whose credits include some of the biggest names in contemporary music. Drifting marks an exciting new chapter in Casey’s solo career, with a full-length album currently in development.

Casey is also the co-founder of The Violet Reality alongside Kim Camilia. A collective of musicians, artists, YouTubers, bloggers and content creators, they are among the leading commentators on the life and career of Prince Rogers Nelson. Profiled in The The New York Times, BBC and Consequence Of Sound, they have been at the forefront of coverage of posthumous releases from The Prince Estate. Their work includes collaborating with Penguin Random House to promote Prince’s memoir, The Beautiful Ones, officially covering Celebration events at Paisley Park, and appearing as panelists at Celebration 2023.

Outside of music, Casey works in the technology space, notably having been a Senior Community Manager at Twitter until the company was sold to Elon Musk, and is now Head of Community at a leading AI firm that has raised over $60m in venture capital.
