Matt Dusk Duet with 12-year-old Cassandra Star - “Fly Me to the Moon” - Inspirational Videos

When Matt Dusk does a duet with 12-year-old Cassandra Star, singing the song “Fly Me to the Moon,” it’s obvious that this young lady lives up to her last name!

While most girls her age have never heard of Frank Sinatra, Cassandra masterfully sings one of Mr. Sinatra’s songs alongside an acclaimed Canadian Jazz vocalist. And while that has to be a little intimidating, Cassandra demonstrates grace and poise well beyond her years! 

Matt welcomes Cassandra to the stage and asks her to introduce herself. Her dress and styling is reflective of the era of the song, and she looks like she could easily be swept back to 1964—the year in which Frank Sinatra recorded the song, written in 1954, and made it a classic. She shares that she’s been performing “locally” nearly her entire life, but this is indeed a thrill!

A Canadian herself, Cassandra is from Fort Francis, Ontario, and she is a big fan of Matt. Mr. Dusk has earned 2 platinum and 4 gold albums, so it was beyond exciting to have the opportunity to sing on stage with the famous artist! And, even though a head cold threatened to ruin the night, Cassandra persevered and did wonderfully!

Cassandra dedicates her song to her papa, who is in the audience with Nana. She blows him a kiss and expresses her love, catches a beat and nails that first note! She’s twelve, for goodness sake! She’s got the facial expressions and the stage presence, and Matt snaps his fingers along with her before taking a turn at 1:22. 

At 1:55, Cassandra picks it up again, and the two begin a volley. Cassandra is having a great time, adding a few sassy head shakes and smiling throughout! Check out the cute finish at 3:00!

Matt is a gracious partner. When the song ends, he sends her off with a giant hug and the prediction that she’ll one day be opening for Adele! What a night for Miss Cassandra and what a delight for her proud grandparents! 

Cassandra sings solo with her older sister, Callahan, on their YouTube Channel. You might find it hard to choose a favorite among their work, because they are all so good!
