In 2009 and 2010 Cadie toured the UK with Jez Lowe as a guest musician on the Winter Almanac Tours. [5] [6] He also contributed to the recording of the song, The Simian Son, which was released on Lowe's Heads Up album in 2012 [7]
As a studio musician and engineer, Cadie has collaborated on many projects, including Josey, The Indignant Daughter for November Club Theatre, where he is credited for additional sound design, mixing, mastering and bass synth. [8] He produced, co-wrote and played all the instruments for the song, Brother, for Darryl Blackman [9], which describes the singer's bond to Aaron Carter, from his time as his choreographer in 1997 to his untimely death, aged 34, in 2022.
