About
Growing up in Southern Illinois, Paul was influenced by many musical forms and styles; but jazz and it's rich nuances and history held a special place in her heart. In 2008, her love for and amazing interpretation of these standards led to a recording contract with Green Hill Music, signing on as their first female jazz vocalist. Paul's first album, 'At Last', reached #1 on the iTunes album charts. Jaimee is now preparing to release her newest album 'Bonded'. This album is a daring tribute to the most famous Bond themes in music history. She delves into the spirit of the artists and finds new glory in the songs. Paul fearlessly tackles the great memories of iconic songs, and brings them to a new level.
Jaimee is married to and works closely with her trumpet player, Leif Shires. Leif hails from Fresno, California, and grew up around a very eclectic mixture of music. His loves and interests have ranged from Jazz, Latin, Funk, Pop, Indy, Gospel and Rock to Classic R&B most notably with the legendary Memphis Horns. Shires is also signed to Green Hill as a solo trumpet player who has already released a couple of albums as well.
Both artists have been recognized in their fields by many notable artists and remain in high demand with their fellow musicians in Nashville which they currently call home. Jaimee has traveled around the world with vocal powerhouse Wynonna, and with Pop singing sensation Kelly Clarkson.
