Aimee Mann

Aimee Mann is from Virginia, and is one of many successful Berklee College of Music dropouts. She is known for her straightforward but somewhat sorrowful style of pop-rock. Her albums often tell stories, sometimes a different tale with each song, and sometimes with concept albums based on a particular storyline, as with The Forgotten Arm (2005).

After graduating from the Open High School in Richmond, Virginia in 1978, Aimee Mann earned a spot at the prestigious Berklee College of Music in downtown Boston, Massachusetts. Mann experimented with different musical styles in the 1980s, first dropping out of college to perform with her punk band Young Snakes, then founding new wave act 'Til Tuesday with Michael Hausman. 'Til Tuesday's best-known song is the anthemic breakup ballad "Voices Carry." She went on to record three full albums with 'Til Tuesday before embarking upon a solo career.

She provided vocals on the Rush song "Time Stand Still," and appears in the 1987 music video looking majestically '80s with white-blonde hair.
