Artist bio
DUNE Aimee is a bubbly alt-pop artist and songwriter who conveys personal stories that reflect the hopeless romantic she is. This, self-reflection and a bit of self-acceptance make her songs so raw and relatable for young adults and anyone else still trying to figure themselves out. From intimate acoustic guitars inspired by Lizzy McAlpine to catchy pop anthems like Maggie Rogers’ ‘Light On’ and nordic pop inspired melodies, DUNE Aimee captures listeners with her voice which, due to its softness and breathiness in intimate moments, has been compared to Billie Eilish.
​
After moving to the UK to study music at the conservatoire in 2017, DUNE Aimee started collaborating with international songwriters, producers, and other artists around the area. After performing and having her music played on different local radio stations in the Netherlands and on BBC Music Introducing in the UK, she released her debut EP ‘By The End of Dune’ on June 14th this year. This was supported by a release show in the ‘Patronaat' in Haarlem, which was well received by the venue as well as news outlet 3voor12 Noord-Holland, which wrote an extensive review of the show.
​
The title of DUNE Aimee’s debut EP ‘By The End of Dune’ playfully references the end of the month June and the pronunciation of her name, something that’s temporary and the end of an old version of yourself. It gives you an insight in the diary of a hopeless romantic with a hint of attachment and separation anxiety. Overall, a vulnerable and personal EP filled with self reflection, emotion and acceptance that everything does not aways have to be perfect.
​
Growing up around strong female artists in the pop scene, such as Adele and P!NK, inspired her to be an empowering and relatable artist by being exactly who she is. ‘As a kid I would always go to the same little corner in my room, sit on the ground and listen to my favourite artists sing about their struggles or how they overcome them. Knowing even people that I looked up to had the same struggles, made me feel like I wasn’t alone. Although it can be a little scary, it inspired me to be 100% open and honest in my music.’
