Casio Partners With Ro Shon Fegan

DOVER, N.J., Sept. 23, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Casio America, Inc., an industry leading manufacturer of electronic musical instruments, today announced its partnership with Ro Shon Fegan as an official brand ambassador through 2015. Ro Shon is an actor and music songwriter/producer/artist who has recently produced tracks for the likes of Britney Spears and Wiz Khalifa. Ro Shon has released a number of singles on iTunes including "Bout That" and is in the midst of producing a new album with a more mature sound with Lava/Republic.

"At Casio, we look forward to supporting up and coming artists with instruments that help them fulfill their passion for music and the arts," said Stephen Schmidt, Vice President of Casio's Electronic Musical Instruments Division. "Ro Shon is a very talented, promising young artist who embraces a deep passion and commitment to music that we truly admire. We are proud to add Ro Shon to our talented partnership roster."

Raised in Los Angeles, Ro Shon studied at the BK Acting Studio and the USC 32^nd Street Performing Arts School. Growing up, he taught himself how to play the piano, drums and guitar. His musical inspirations stem from industry game changers like Prince, Will.i.am and the great Michael Jackson. Ro Shon gained worldwide attention in more than 137 countries as a young television star for seven years on the hit show Shake It Up. And most recently, Fegan was a participant on Dancing with the Stars, making it into the top six. He's also the CEO of Rotate Music Group, a recording studio that includes its own rehearsal space and stage for artists who want to record and create an entire production. 

"I grew up using Casio Keyboards, so there is nothing more comfortable than using a brand that I can trust to deliver what I need," said Ro Shon. "Now by using the Privia PX-5S, I am able to create and perform with a professional grade keyboard that I know and love."

As part of this agreement, Ro Shon will support Casio by using its instruments and technologies on-stage and in the studio. Fegan will also participate in event and trade show appearances, media interviews, and new product launches.
