Spotlight on Grant Winner Cassidy Leachman

Syracuse University graduate Cassidy Leachman is on a mission to reshape the music industry with fairness and creativity at its core. As the founder of Capricious Productions, a music production company and record label, Cassidy offers young artists more than just technical services—she provides a platform where their voices and visions can thrive.

Capricious Productions specializes in personalized mixing and mastering, branding, and management, but what truly sets it apart is its commitment to integrity. Unlike larger independent or corporate labels, Cassidy crafts custom contracts for each artist, ensuring their unique needs and goals come first. This artist-first approach not only protects creative freedom but also builds trust in an industry where transparency is too often overlooked.

With support from Hunter’s Fund, Cassidy has expanded her studio’s capabilities by purchasing professional recording and production equipment. That investment continues to empower her and the artists she supports, fueling a vision for a more just and collaborative music landscape.
