Early years

In 2004 he made the decision to go solo and spent the next three years working on his debut album 'Threads' which was well received by critics and fans. 'Threads' was engineered and produced by noted Australian producer Steve Scanlon, known for his work with artists such as Vanessa Amorosi & Kate Alexa.

A number of singles taken from 'Threads' received support from commercial radio, the album was launched with a tour in July/August 2007 which resulted in capacity shows at venues in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane. During 2007 and early 2008, Cashen toured with artists such as the Small Mercies & Charlton Hill. His song 'Naked In The Light' which was the first single to be lifted from the album was featured in an SBS commercial in September 2007.
