"Entertain, dont let crap get in the way, & Trance Out!" has been my motto since forever, however the last bit 'trance out' has really only been apart of what i like to say since 1999 when i descovered trance :)
I have been producing music since my early teens, influenced by such massive stars as armin van buuren and ferry corsten (seriosuly!), i know most biographies stick in a line about now saying 'since then its been a majical ride of trance fusion' etc... etc... however for me its rather been something of a rollercoaster of ups and downs lol, again alot of artist would cringe at saying that, tho im full of bottle, and am not affraid to say it, besides its what has made my music what it is today :)
One of the biggest questions i get asked recently is why do i sound so much like 'hybrid factor', well for a start, Steve 'the one with the name under the guise' was not the artist behind the music, I WAS!!!! The biggest problem that i started with was not mastering, or vst's rather the fact that im a chick! Being the bold person i am, i decided to ask my brother steve if i could use his name to publish my music on the net, he reluctantly said ye, and what did ya know, as soon as my net profiles got noticed, people liked the gear :)
So just to clarify to everyone, hybrid factor is (or was) me 'Aimee M Bailey' not 'Steve' lol
In 2003 my guise 'hybrid factor' was voted by ctgmusic.com as one of the top 10 new artists of the year and had the 4th Longest time no1 with 'Beleve'.
After a reasonable amount of equal success on sony's acidplanet.com the 'hybrid factor' guise finally came to a finale in december 2005 with the 'Fireflies', because of the success and friend group i had established, plus the fact my brother was getting too comfortable with the idea of being recognised as a trance artist, It was finally time to come out and admit to everyone who i really was. Sure people were shokked, though atleast the cat is out of the hat now :)
After that, i thought it was time to update the image, get rid of the metalic name, blast en fem and step up gear, So i decided to swich guises to 2 common ones, first being 'Aimee B' (obvious lol) and secondly 'AMi Firestar'. With the 'daif records' contract in the bag for this winter, i have alot to look forward to, however there is still work to do, im no fool, and i will keep on workin :) in the next part, i get a bit formal (so what! lol), just warning you :)
