Richmond, United States (1982 – present)

Aimee Mann was born in Richmond, Virginia, and attended the Berklee College of Music in Boston, but dropped out to sing with her first punk rock band, the young snakes; the band released the EP Bark Along with the Young Snakes in 1982, and a compilation album was issued in 2004.

In 1983, seeking a return to “sweetness and melody”, she co-founded with Berklee classmate and boyfriend Michael Hausman the new wave band ’Til Tuesday, which achieved minor success in 1985 with its first album, Voices Carry. The title song is said to be inspired by Hausman and Mann’s breakup; the video became an MTV staple, winning the MTV Video Music Award for Best New Artist, though Mann’s signature spiky hair would lead some to dismiss the group. Mann performed with the rock band Rush on the song “Time Stand Still” (from Hold Your Fire, 1987), singing backup vocals and appearing in the music video. With Mann playing an increasingly important role in songwriting, ‘Til Tuesday released two more albums, Welcome Home and Everything’s Different Now. On the final album and tour, musician Jon Brion joined the band, which broke up in 1990 when Mann left to start her solo career.

Around the time of the first album’s release, Mann began a romantic relationship with Jules Shear; they broke up before the final ‘Til Tuesday album, which contained the song “J For Jules”. Professional relationships from the band would continue: Hausman later became Mann’s manager, and Brion produced her first two solo albums.
