About Aimee-Jo Benoit

I am a vocalist, collaborator and thinker based in Calgary, Alberta. Over the past decade, I have become well-known for my uncommon tone and unique approach to the jazz genre. As a solo artist and a sought after back-up singer, I work in multiple genres; pop, rock, indie, and folk and have been a part of various projects including Woodpigeon, Aaron Booth, Spreepark, The Summerlad, and Hermitess. Growing up singing in church choirs, I have a deep appreciation for harmony, major chords and the unity of voices in choral settings while finding joy in melancholy as well. I continue to be a student of my practice as well, currently working with renowned tenor and vocal coach Leon Leontaridis (Canadian Tenors, Destino). I do this all through the lens of motherhood, juggling a music career with three young girls.

Aimee-Jo's Experience

I am a collaborative vocalist, interested in adapting my vocal skills in new ways. I have been a longtime supporting vocalist, and enjoy the work I do in collaboration with songwriters, choir directors, and arrangers. I am now seeking to put my own mark on the music I sing, making intentional choices in regards to the songs I record and work on with others. I still look for opportunities to hone my craft and update my skill set every day.
