Raised in Southern Illinois, steeped in the church choir, vocalist Jaimee Paul was influenced by Gospel and Blues, cultivating a special place in her heart for jazz. She left her home town for Nashville, TN to study music business at highly acclaimed Belmont University. After graduation Jaimee quickly found work at various record labels handling marketing and radio promotion, and simultaneously she began working part time as a studio session singer. Jaimee's talent was quickly recognized, and soon she began touring as background vocalist with country superstar Wynonna, The Judd's and most recently, pop sensation, Kelly Clarkson.
In 2008 Green Hill Music signed Jaimee as their first female vocalist, and her debut record, "At Last", reached #1 on the iTunes Jazz charts. Several albums have followed, placing in the Top 10, including "Bonded": a tribute record to the 50 years of the James Bond film series, produced by multi-Grammy award winning producer, Michael Omartian. Her devotional hymns record, "Hear My Prayer" garnered a Dove award nomination for Best Inspirational Album in 2013.
