  • Description

    Che Aimee Dorval is set to take the world by storm. Che spent her formative years living the troubadour life playing local clubs in Vancouver, becoming embroiled in the Toronto indie music scene and touring worldwide as a solo artist and with her critically acclaimed band 'Casualties of Cool', a joint venture with prog behemoth Devin Townsend.



    The Crowned shows a side to Che seldom seen on record before. A more confident and determined thread runs through these songs, signalling the birth of a new era for Che.


    Inspired by her love of Trip Hop, Folktronica and Soul, The Crowned has Che's signature all over it whilst reaching out into new sonic environments. Half of The Crowned's tracks produced by Bob Rock pre-pandemic and half of the tracks self-produced post pandemic, this album tells a story of an artist's evolution and growth.



    You are looking at a woman who still has a sense of individualism combined with a drive and vision that is growing increasingly rare in this day and age. An artist in the truest sense of the word, a product of passion and not curation.



    She has previously worked with LA with hitmakers Greg Wells, David Foster and Kara Dioguardi; performing with Michael Buble, Kim Churchill and Dan Mangan and releasing music with industry heavyweights Andrew Loog Oldham (Rolling Stones) and Tom Sarig (Lou Reed). Most recent work includes a collaboration with Juno nominated EDM duo Young Bombs, a darkly lit duet with the late Gord Downey (The Tragically Hip) and a featured performance on Devin Townsend's 'Lightwork'. She also collaborated with Townsend on 2014's Casualties Of Cool.
