In the same Wall Street Journal feature on Cyrille (and vocalist Cecile McLorin Salvant), Friedwald declared "Both are astonishing creative singers, with a brilliant sound, fresh ideas, impeccable rhythm and an overall approach that honors tradition without being shackled to the past." Cyrille was born in Fontainebleau, France, to a French father and Dominican mother. Her introduction to jazz was the result of the fortuitous location of her upbringing, the village Samois-sur-Seine—the same place where the legendary gypsy guitarist Django Reinhardt once lived. For decades gypsies from throughout Europe have descended upon Samois every June, setting up caravans in nearby meadows for the annual Django Reinhardt Festival. Many years ago, a young, curious Cyrille wandered (unbeknownst to her parents) into the encampments and fell in love with the gypsies’ music and way of life. She would climb out her bedroom window at night and spend evenings in their quarters, learned their language and sang by the fire with Django's descendants—before returning home prior to sunrise and school. "I was hypnotized by this music which made me want to tap my feet," said Cyrille. "Swinging music makes me so happy." As a teenager, Cyrille performed in various Parisian cafés and clubs. When her family moved to Singapore, she remained in Paris to attend the American School of Modern Music. She also auditioned for "Star Academy," the French version of "American Idol." Selected to be one of 16 semi-finalists, Cyrille had second thoughts when she was handed a contract that tied her up every which way for ten years—including what she would sing. This was too much for her gypsy and jazz spirit to accept—so she quit. The French media so pursued Cyrille, she sought refuge in her mother's homeland—the Dominican Republic. Desperate to hear and learn from other jazz musicians, she opted to attend SUNY Purchase given its proximity to New York City. Cyrille discovered campus life as a freshman and Manhattan as a sophomore—and a further flowering of influences. In 2006, Cyrille organized a backpacking tour of Europe where she and her musician friends played and sang on street corners across the Continent. In 2007, the group targeted jazz festivals where they played for food and lodging. Cyrille left the Perugia Jazz Festival for Switzerland where she participated in the Montreux International Voice Competition—which she won, a prize which included the financing of a full-length recording. And so In 2008, Cyrille and her friends returned to Switzerland to record her first CD, "Cyrille Aimée & The Surreal Band." Months later there was another surreal experience: filling-in for their ailing lead vocalist, Cyrille performed on a major European tour with the French supergroup Caravan Palace. In recent years Cyrille has toured in many different contexts and has created several self-produced recordings, including with Brazilian guitarist Diego Figueiredo, with whom she has extensively toured in a duo setting. She won the Sarah Vaughan International Jazz Vocal Competition in 2012, the same year she released her 5th self-produced CD, “Live at Birdland". Cyrille's first major label release, "It's a Good Day," will be out in Spring 2014. Featuring originals as well as enchanting covers of classics, the configuration of the band is tailored to Cyrille's musical vision: bass, drums and three guitars: gypsy, jazz and Brazilian. Cyrille Aimée's hybrid of influences has resulted in a sound that's fresh and enlivening. In addition, her distinctive voice—which did not escape the attentions of Stephen Sondheim, who cast Cyrille in an Encores! Special Event at New York City's City Center in November 2013—is guaranteed to enthrall. If the notion of joy factors into a concertgoer’s equation, Cyrille's concerts—whether with her band, an orchestra or in a duo setting—are not to be missed.
