Cyrille Aimée grew up in a multilingual household full of music where she danced every day. There, her soundtrack featured the Afro-Caribbean sounds from her mother’s native Dominican Republic. The family home was in Samois-sur-Seine, the location of the Django Reinhardt Festival. Often, the teenage Cyrille would climb out of her bedroom window at night to mingle with the players. Thus, this ignited a passion for jazz.Moving to New York City, her talents quickly earned her a reputation among her peers as a matchless song interpreter. She worked with Roy Hargrove and stole the show in front of the notoriously hard-to-please crowd at the Harlem Apollo. Steven Sondheim invited her to star in a tribute at New York’s City Centre, backed by Wynton Marsalis. Her 2019 album Move On featured versions of Sondheim’s songs which received praise from Sondheim himself. Additionally, she earned a 2019 Grammy nomination for her version of “Marry Me a Little”.
At the height of her New York success, new horizons beckoned. Visiting New Orleans, she fell in love with the energy and diversity of the city and made it her home. Then, she teamed up with producer/multi-instrumentalist Jake Sherman, and together they created her latest album, 2024’s A Fleur de Peau.
The album combines the depth and sophistication of jazz, the immediacy of pop, and the irrepressible dance rhythms of the Caribbean. Furthermore, it’s more intimate and more accessible than anything Cyrille has done before.
