Aimee Leonard can break your heart and kick your ass. She is a musician of incredible passion and versatility, penning songs which are at once deeply personal and immediately accessible. Her debut album "What Happened" features eleven original songs ranging from soulful jazz ("Taillights") to hardcore rock ("Stick It!"), from full band jams ("How to Take Me") to intimate confessionals ("Taken"), and from lighthearted ("Bus Ride") to acutely emotional ("Dearest Friend"). Her musical style is equally diverse, drawing on jazz and classical, and wrapping it up in an enticing package of pop fueled charisma.
Aimee's debut album is just a hint of what she is capable of in a live setting. Delivering tales of jilted love, hopeful desire, and the politics of all types of relationships, her energy ignites the crowd. Aimee's piano and vocals work overtime as she powers through material which demands a wide range of emotions, and can reveal her to be vulnerable yet sensual, enraged yet hopeful. Her live sets are a mixture of recorded material and her ever growing catalogue of new songs, as well as inspired covers of everyone from Tori Amos to Nirvana, from Radiohead to Nine Inch Nails. Watching Aimee perform, it's not hard to see her star is rising, and quickly!
Having conquered the music scene in her native Sudbury, Aimee is currently in the process of selling herself to the rest of the world, embarking to music festivals and playing shows all over Ontario. She is currently receiving frequent airplay at numerous radio stations across the province with high hopes for her ever-expanding musical empire. - Andrew Root
