About Aimee Jacobs While many classes beneath the arts umbrella caught the mind of Aimee Jacobs, it was melody and song that held her heart. At seven years old, Aimee felt compelled to become a singer, and explained this to her parents. When told it would take hard work, she replied, “I know.” She patiently learned piano for the next five years until she reached a mature enough age to start voice lessons. At age twelve, Aimee was able to begin voice lessons — although she barely got any notes out during the first two sessions. She sensed something inherently vulnerable about the craft, knowing that nobody can really hide how they’re feeling when singing for an audience. Aimee embraced the challenge, and embraced herself as a vessel of expression. In alignment with purpose, she began her journey towards meaning, integrity, and connection with something larger than herself. By 2014, not only did Aimee remain diligent with her lessons, she majored in Opera Performance — studying both classical voice as well as classical piano. She also toured with Burning of Rome, playing music on the stage with acts such as Bad Religion, Offspring, Cage the Elephant, The Psychedelic Furs, The Dirty Heads, and Moving Units. Juggling so many responsibilities all at once, Aimee discovered that apart from performance itself, the community surrounding music was fire to her soul. Over the course of shows — and years of teaching students both piano and voice — Aimee continually validated a revelation that music is the history of feelings. She believes that not even words can achieve the same level of communication or impact. To this end, she found much fulfillment in coaching and teaching. What greater gift can be given to a person than a way of channeling their spirit and expressing parts of themselves for which they have no words? For her own endeavors of expression, Aimee recorded her first album of folk pop songs by the age of sixteen. She graduated high school early and dove right into collaborating with Burning of Rome. She continued creating her own music while majoring in Opera Performance. While recording original works at San Diego’s Singing Serpent, she found herself becoming a musician for hire. As community took further shape, she found herself forming a new project with skilled collaborators: Belladon. An idea soon evolved into a notable band. Be it students, fellow musicians, or an audience, Aimee aspires to ensure people feel warm and welcome. Where there are no words that can be said, music can take the lead. Where there are too many feelings to comprehend, music is a place to land. And where the horizon is darkest, music can see far beyond it. Where her craft has continuously provided a path of self improvement, she invites others to challenge themselves in it as well — and to discover their own creations.
