Kassie was born Katherine Virginia Wesley in Morganfield, Kentucky. Kassie has two older brothers and a younger sister. Kassie says the biggest influences on her life growing up were her parents. Kassie is very proud of her Kentucky roots. After graduating from Union County High School, Kassie went to Indiana University.

At the age of 18, Kassie debuted as a soloist at the legendary Grand Ole Opry, performing two song, "You Ain't Woman Enough to Take My Man" and "Satin Sheets." What Kassie remembers most about singing at the Opry was being really nervous, and thinking it was the biggest day of her life. Kassie left Indiana University to go to UCLA to study theater. While Kassie was attending UCLA, she joined a four-part harmony band called Newport, which performed in the Los Angeles, San Diego, and Las Vegas areas.
