After graduating, Miles set off to New York where he pursued his musical career by becoming a professional saxophone player. After a while, Miles decided it was time for a change of direction. He headed to LA where he was able to find his own sound and make music of his own.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&#8216;She Funked Me&#8217; is the artists second single after releasing, &#8216;Price Went Up&#8217;, which he recorded, wrote and self-released on Spotify.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Cassowary has a way of putting his own signature sound in to his music. &#8216;She Funked Me&#8217; will sure get your foot tapping with its catchy beats and originality.
