Information
Cyrille Aime grew up in a multilingual household full of music where dancing was an everyday activity, soundtracked by the Afro-Caribbean sounds of her mothers native Dominican Republic. The family home was in Samois-sur-Seine, the location of the Django Reinhardt Festival, and the teenage Cyrille would climb out of her bendroom window at night to mingle with the players, igniting a passion for jazz. Moving to New York City, her talents quickly gained her a reputation among her peers as a matchless interpreter of song. She performed and recorded 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 Citys City Centre, backed by Wynton Marsalis. Her 2019 album Move On featured versions of Sondheims songs which received praise from Sondheim himself, and her version of Marry Me a Little was nominated for a 2019 GRAMMY award. 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. Linking back to New York to connect up all the dots, she teamed up with producer/multi-instrumentalist Jake Sherman, and together they created her latest album, A Fleur de Peau, to be released on a new label, the London-based imprit Whirlwind Records.Combining the depth and sophistication of jazz, the immediacy of pop, the irrepressible dance rhythms of the Caribbean, its more intimate and more accessible than anything Cyrille has done before.
