Biography:

Hailing from Liphook, Hampshire, Aimée is a young professional singer/songwriter who has been performing regularly on the local music scene in Berkshire, Hampshire, Sussex, Surrey and London.

Following the release of her E.P.and subsequent releases to iTunes/Amazon/Spotify, Aimée is now busy writing a whole raft of new material which she is currently trialing at local music evenings.

In June 2009, having qualified via audition through Regional Finals and then Area Finals at Princes Hall, Aldershot, Aimée performed in the National Finals of Live and Unsigned at Portsmouth Guildhall in front of judges, the late Malcolm Mclaren, Annie Nightingale (Radio 1), Dane Bowers and Martin O’Shea (Atomic Kitten’s Manager) and was judged to be in the top 5 in the country in her genre.

Aimée has a love for performing at festivals and has played at Guilfest, WeyFest, Redfest, Americana International, Basingstoke Live (headlining the Acoustic Stage), Westival, OnionFest, Madhurst, Lazy Bishops Festival, ButserFest, Farnham Maltings Festival and Culture in the Park.

As well as her regular shows on the local circuit, Aimée has made numerous live radio appearances with BBC Surrey, Eagle 96.4, Wave 105.2, Delta Radio, Brooklands FM, Radio Lion, Radio Wey and Radio Basingstoke.

A caller to Mark Carter's Breakfast Show on BBC Surrey likened Aimée's style to that of Kirsty MacColl, other audiences have mentioned Avril Lavigne, Suzanne Vega, Alanis Morissette and Michelle Branch.

"What a talent. At 15 years old, the youngest performer on the Guilfest Backline Live Acoustic Stage, Aimée performing alongside music legends 10CC and Mungo Jerry delivered a contrasting set of self-penned alongside some well known classic and contemporary tracks. Her vocal prowess and the lyrical content of her songs belies her tender age which alongside the experience and professionalism that she showed in her performance at GuilFest 2010 can only mean that she has a fantastic future ahead of her. Definitely an act to watch in 2011" - Trevor Rapson - Guilfest Acoustic Stage 2010

"She was a great guest and it was our pleasure, I hope she comes in again" - Joe Talbot - BBC Surrey

"I was not only impressed by her musical ability, but also her control of the audience" - Steve Bradford - Loxwood Beer and Music Festival

"...the lyrics were deep and the music cool" - Niky Vanhoeke - Musician

Press:

“Songwriting and musicianship of the highest calibre and harmonising together as only siblings can. Just about the best young English acoustic band I’ve heard”
