QUICK BACKGROUND:
At nineteen, Aimee Allen felt she had already conquered her native Montana, with sold out club dates and frequent radio play, she longed for bigger adventures in a new city. Determined to reach people with her music, she packed her car and moved to Los Angeles to start living her dream. Leaving the comfort and stability of her friends and family, she hit Hollywood’s less than glamorous side – night shifts waiting tables and couch surfing till the perfect opportunity arose.Roles in MTV’s Undressed and The Bold and the Beautiful gave her a taste of the entertainment industry but it was only after months of playing out and writing did Aimee start to get results. And the results were well worth the wait; a bidding war between the labels started– a dream situation for any artists but one that rarely happens in today’s turbulent market. Ultimately Aimee was signed to Elektra Records, and commenced work on her album, “I’d Start a Revolution If I Could Get Up In The Morning”. The album became an underground hit even before its release, the fan favorite “More Man Than You’ll Ever Be” was a scathing mission statement, declaring that she was ready to play (and win) the boys club radio –rock game. Leadoff single “Revolution” would infiltrate film, TV and radio with its anti-anthem hook, “I’d Start A Revolution if I could get up in the morning" was ultimately picked-up by “Birds of Prey” on the WB and in Warren Miller’s “Storm”. Underground MC Pharoahe Monch dirtied up “Oblivion,” a track topped in sultriness only by the hedonistic “If It Feels Right.”Her resume reads like a who’s who of industry heavy-hitters; discovered by American Idol and platinum selling producer Randy Jackson, she worked with Bloodshy (Britney Spears), Scott Storch (Jay Z, Eve), Justin Stanley, (Beck, Nikka Costa) Mark Ronson (Amy Winehouse, Lily Allen) Don Gilmore (Linkin Park, Duran Duran) and the list goes on.While on tour with Unwritten Law, supporting her album, she and lead singer Scott Russo discovered and nurtured an intense and creative relationship. By the time Elektra collapsed, Aimee was already working on the “Scott and Aimee Project” re-recording some of Aimee’s original Elektra tracks as well as creating and writing new material including “Miss America” and “Southern California Love” for the album “Sitting In A Tree”. At the same time, Aimee was writing material for Unwritten Law’s album “Here’s to the Mourning” and collaborating with Linda Perry and Scott Russo on the Billboard Chart topper “Save Me” which reached 4 on the Billboard rock charts.With a scorching hit “Cooties” on the Grammy nominated Hairspray Soundtrack and guest vocals on reggae legend Lee “Scratch” Perry’s up-coming release ‘Repentance”, Aimee’s all conquering attitude and hard work is establishing her as a successful name in the industry. She has continued to explore the relationship between her music in film, and is featured in “Numb”, an independent tribute to the 80’s punk movement which she performs three songs for. Her haunting ballad “I’m Here” featuring world renowned guitarist Kaki King is featured in Tate Taylor’s “Pretty Ugly People” set for release in 2008.Tila Tequila, star of MTV’s hit show “A Shot At Love with Tila Tequila” recently fell in love with Allen’s “Stripper Friends” and has re-recorded it to be used as the title music to the second season. Underground soul king Kevin Michaels also reached out to Aimee for his reworking of “We All Want the Same Thing”, which was released through Atlantic in 2007.
