Amidst the gorgeous décor that is the Whiskey Blue Bar at the W Los Angeles performed Ireland’s number one artist Paddy Casey. The second show of the W Wonderlust Live tour was hosted by none other than 
Grammy-Award winning music producer Bryan Michael Cox. DJ Tony Okungbowa entertained VIP guests with hit beats before Paddy performed. Of the two hundred VIP guests at this private concert were stars such as Patricia Fields, Gerard Butler, Billy Crudup, fashion designer Alvin Valley, Jai Rodriguez (Queer Eye for the Straight Guy), Elizabeth Reaser, Clea Duvall, and Matthew Felker.
Live Nation taped the show in order to ensure that Paddy’s performance will live on well beyond the event. And legendary rock and roll photographer Mick Rock captured photographs to display in White Space shows in-property. Signature complimentary cocktails by Tava, a zero calorie sparkling beverage, were distributed among guests.
Paddy Casey, on top of being an 11 times platinum selling artist, is also a very genuinely humble person. His great success has definitely not gotten to his head. Apparently the best part about going 11 times platinum according to him was being able to purchase his own house in Ireland, thus enabling him to make music 24/7. “No one comes knocking on my door trying to shut me up anymore,” Paddy stated.
Paddy plays multiple instruments including but definitely not limited to drums, keyboards, xylophone, and guitar. He mentioned that though he can play many instruments he
doesn’t think he’s very good at any. Apparently, with being the #1 artist in Ireland, he must be good at something. When pointed out that his music combines somber lyrics with upbeat tempos, he simply said that he tries to do something completely different with every individual song he writes. This definitely can be seen in each and every one of his tracks.
With his third, and what he believes to be his first “proper” album, Paddy was able to work with Eric Clapton’s drummer, Beck’s saxophone player, and had his own band involved as well. He has been named by Billboard and Entertainment Weekly as “one of the top emerging artists of the year” and is represented by Paul McGuinness of Principle Management who also manages legendary rock bad U2. Paddy considers himself very lucky to be where he is at, and to have worked with such great artists on his latest album.
