Aimee C Alexander
Aimee C Alexander is a singer/songwriter with a love for folk, indie rock and pop, “world music”, and R&B. She writes melodies inspired by Joni Mitchell, both floating and jumping in romantic lines. Other influences include Simon & Garfunkel, Karen Carpenter, Andrew Bird, and Grizzly Bear, to name a few. Her songs are co-produced with her husband Paul Alexander, formerly of Midlake.
Aimee performed keyboards and vocals onstage with Paul for his solo record as Two Medicine, at SXSW 2019 and on tour in the UK, Europe and North America, opening for John Grant. Aimee also performed at Thin Line Fest in Denton, TX in 2018.
Aimee started her first band when she was 13. Songwriting in her room made up a majority of her experiences growing up. When she was 15, her aunt taught her how to play “Blackbird” by The Beatles, and so began her love for the acoustic guitar. She consistently had vocal training in choir and private voice lessons, and she used her singing and love for poetry to hone her songwriting skills.
In the past, Aimee has let fear hold her back from releasing music, and she has only performed original material a few times. However, she’s finally begun the process of sharing the music she’s written and recorded. She’s decided to be vulnerable and share her story of trying to change in hopes to inspire people to live intentionally, love others well, and have the courage to do work they feel called to pursue. Her hope is that people will live a more fulfilling life where they can take time for the people they love and the creative outlets that bring them joy.

“intriguing original debut”
“This is a song that goes where it wants at a pace it wants to. With all that time, you can be patient with the layers, which meander in and out of focus and draw on influences far and wide.”
“shades of Bat for Lashes or Bjork”

“haunting vocals”
“Their vibrant synths and beats made the small room feel awakened and like it was buzzing with activity. They have dazzling instrumentals that make you feel like you’re in a dreamlike state of reality, almost like you’re in a beautiful, lush setting instead of a small club venue.”
