AYME

AYME and her band are currently recording a new collection of original songs with producer, Steve Gordon. Plans are in place to complete the EP by January 2009.
If you ask anyone who has ever met AYME, they will tell you that she has captivating energy and profound depth, partnered with an endearing sense of humor. She digs beneath the surface with her music. There is a serious undertone to AYME's lyrics but they can also make audiences laugh because of its candidness.
"I refuse to just be a singer up on a stage", she says, "I connect with my audiences. Its about moving people." Her insights are conveyed through her sensually vibrant voice and keen ability to communicate nuance. The way she sings is sometimes poetic, sometimes theatrical, and always from the heart.
AYME's magnetic personality, passionate voice and energetic performance style really shone through in late 2000 when she was selected from thousands as the winner of Miami's hit music station Y-100's BIG BREAK CONTEST. Ayme performed in front of 15,000 people as one of three finalists at Y-100's annual "Wing Ding" along with Mandy Moore, Willa Ford, KC and the Sunshine Band, and Five for Fighting, among others.
Ayme won over the crowd and impressed guest celebrities Jon Secada and Meredith Brooks. Y-100 then announced to their South Florida audience that Ayme had won the final talent search and awarded her with a two-song demo deal with world-renowned producer, Emilio Estefan.
In 2001, Ayme recorded the demo at Estefan's Crescent Moon Studios in Miami, and made her debut on Y-100's Morning Show to much acclaim.
In June 2005, Ayme won SingerUniverses Best Vocalist of the Month Competition which has garnered interest from top A & R executives and producers.
Recently, Ayme was chosen to join the M.O.S.T., a songwriting/publishing venture headed by soul/R&B diva, Betty Wright (vocal coach for P. Diddys Making the Band on MTV as well as recording artists Joss Stone, Gloria Estefan and Jennifer Lopez, to name a few). Ayme has become a sought-after songwriter, also currently collaborating with Grammy-Award nominated producer, Jose-Luis Pagan (Marc Anthony, Thalia, Jennifer Lopez) as well as world-renowned drummer/producer, Lee Levin (Ricky Martin, Kelly Clarkson, Julio Iglesias).
Four of AYME's songs were played on two of FOX television's new primetime shows "Desire" and "Fashion House" on their new network, MY NETWORK TV. AYME's songs will soon be released on a compilation CD along with Sheryl Crow.
Ayme was chosen to write a theme song for The International Rett Syndrome Associations (IRSA) awareness campaign. October is Rett Syndrome Awareness Month and during this time, IRSA is going to launch a new campaign to raise awareness and funds for Rett syndrome research. The initiative is being called: NIGHT OF 1,000 ANGELS. Aymes song Silent Angels will be featured in a music video on a DVD along with an interview of Julia Roberts, a strong advocate of the cause, and Congressman Steny Hoyer talking about Rett syndrome research. This DVD will be internationally distributed.
