Artist Biography

Aimee Norwich

Aimee writes, produces, records, and mixes her music, as well as producing and recording other artists who seek out her talents, in her home studio in Brooklyn, NY. She built the analog / digital studio herself, from deciding what gear would facilitate her creative process, to actually building many of the electronics that she uses. This hands-on approach is key in Aimee getting the unique sonic qualities of Aimee's recordings.

Aimee holds degrees in electronics and music and uses creativity and skill to design and build original instruments and attain pristine recordings. In the studio and at live performances one of Aimee's unique inventions, a hybrid ¼ bass and ¾ guitar instrument contributes to Aimee's signature sound. This invention required Aimee to develop a new playing technique and unconventional tuning to achieve the final result, the performance of a guitar and a bass player coming from one person simultaneously.

A Jacksonville, Florida native, currently living in Brooklyn, Aimee spent many years experimenting with several different musical creations, eventually settling on designing the instruments and electronic systems that would propel Howard Jones to write:

"I came across a fascinating musician today, [Aimee] plays bass but makes it sound like a million different instruments…"
