[1] As a former drama school student, she was talent spotted by veteran UK producer Glyn Johns, a friend of Aumonier's father at the age of 17.
Johns was most impressed by her vocal talents and recommended that she travel to Los Angeles and team up with his son Ethan, also a well known producer.
In 2000, Aumonier returned to the UK where she began a residency at "The Kashmire Klub", one of London's up-and-coming venues.
Aumonier then teamed up with fellow songwriter Tim Lind and began on writing material for a planned solo project.
The four-track Fall From Grace EP was released at the end of 2003 and overall attracted good reviews with attention being paid to her raw vocal talent and her ability to craft sumptuous, melodic pop rock songs.
