Aimée Allen's intimate connection with music began as a child. Her childhood was literally scored with classic jazz, because of her mother's intense love of the music. The influence of the jazz tradition can be heard in Aimée's musical style and interpretation choices. But Aimée's listeners can also hear her individual voice, nuanced and sparkling with soul and sensuality.

Aimée first began singing professionally in college. As a student
at Yale University Aimée was an active member and soloist with
jazz a cappella groups. After college, Aimée lived in Paris
where she performed regularly. The close relationship
between the francophone audiences and Brazilian bossa
nova, long one of Aimée's musical loves, led Aimée to form
Les Bossa Novices, a Paris-based group dedicated to
bossa and jazz. Aimée went on to earn law degrees from
Columbia University and the Sorbonne in Paris, all the
while continuing to perform and hone her craft as a vocalist.

Aimée's third and latest CD, Winters & Mays is that rare
combination of soulful, sensitive, and swinging. It is an eclectic
collection of thoughtful original songs and reinterpretations of
hand-picked gems, demonstrating Aimée's versatility through
jazz, bossa, blues, tango, even pop and poignant ballad.
Aimée performs regularly in New York City and abroad. Standards
and bossa are part of her signature repertoire, but now an
accomplished composer, she also includes her originals songs,
many of which have become audience favorites.
