About

AIMEE BAYLES is a singer, songwriter and recording artist based in New York City. Originally from Virginia, her soulful, vocally-driven music is influenced by an upbringing in southern church music, her training as an opera singer, and learning folk guitar from her pastor father. Aimee’s sound is inflected with inspiration from Patty Griffin, Gillian Welch, Neil Young, Norah Jones, Dolly Parton and Alison Krauss. Her 2019 release, ENOUGH, showcases a collection of original songs about her life in the city and her rural southern roots. Her 2022 release, Flowers For Love And Loss, is a deeply personal ep, featuring two songs about losing each of her parents. She has also released several Christmas singles, including a collaboration with NYC folk artist Matt Sucich, an original collaboration with guitarist Seth Johnson, and an original of her very own, “Tropical Christmas.” She performs regularly at venues in New York City, and is currently developing a new project with Canadian musicians Tristan Clark and Rob Ritchie.  

Flowers was produced by Kiyoshi Matsuyama, engineered, mixed and mastered by Danielle Warman of ‘Chiller Sound (Bruce Springsteen, Phish), and features Lily Cato of Parlour Tricks. Enough was recorded at Rustic Studios in Portland Maine and 'Chiller Sound in New York, mixed by Danielle Warman, and mastered by Grammy Award-winner Joe LaPorta, Sterling Sound (David Bowie).
