Lacasse wrote and released his first single in 2010, titled "Like This, Like That", which had radio play across Canada.[1][2] It peaked at #31 on the Canadian radio charts.[citation needed] Lacasse released his second single, "My Girl", to radio in July 2010.[citation needed] A music video was posted by his VEVO channel November 8, 2010. Another video has not been posted nor has a single been released since, but Lacasse continues with his aspirations to become successful as a pop artist. Lacasse also writes for other musical artists. Lacasse co-wrote the lead single "Over You" for the American girl group "Girlicious". It peaked at 15 on the Canadian radio charts.

In December 2014, Lacasse along with Kellen Pomeranz, and Elof Loelv wrote "Velvet" which was performed by Chris Jamison on The Voice season 7 finale. The song peaked at #3 on iTunes, and has since sold over 100,000 digital downloads. Velvet peaked at #53 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.
