Overcoming challenges defines singer-songwriter Aimee Hannan’s life and she brings this passion and strength to her music career and was recently featured on ABC’s Headliners.

Relocating from Sydney back to Country Music Capital, Tamworth, the proud Gamilaraay woman is making her mark on the Australian musical landscape by blending her musical talents with her cultural heritage, crafting original songs that celebrate her roots, including pieces in her traditional language.

Since her first public performance at just four years old, Aimee has built an impressive career. She said she discovered her deep connection with country music at age ten, performing alongside Lee Kernaghan on his Hat Town Tour in Gladstone, Queensland. Since then, Aimee has performed across Australia and internationally as Australia’s representative in the World Star Quest in Beijing, China. In 2016, she graduated from The CMAA Academy of Country Music Senior Course, which further honed her craft and brought on collaborations with artists including Lyn Bowtell, Gina Jeffreys, and Allan Caswell.

Aimee has overcome major personal challenges with inspiring strength. Facing a rare medical condition that led to heart failure and the eventual amputation of her leg, Aimee’s love for music continued to shine. Within months, she was back on stage, reflecting her resilience in her debut album, Stronger. Her second album, The Best Is Yet To Come, released in 2023, features two bonus tracks and has resonated with fans across the country.

This strength has been highlighted in the ABC series, Headliners, where Elly May Barnes formed two bands comprised entirely of musicians living with a disability. Aimee and her band ‘Sync or Swim’ took to the stage at the Mundi Mundi Bash, wowing a crowd of over 14,000 avid music fans.
“The energy was off the charts! it was an incredible experience.”

Renowned for her captivating voice and storytelling flair, Aimee frequently graces stages across Australia. She made waves by headlining her debut show at the Tamworth Country Music Festival in 2024. 

But that’s not all! Aimee has clinched finalist spots in many Awards, celebrated multiple wins as well as proudly reached Team Delta’s Top 12 on The Voice. 
Most recently, she lit up the stage at the 2025 Australia Day Live Concert at the iconic Sydney Opera House, sharing the spotlight with many talented artists including Dragon and Sheppard.

As she looks to 2025 and beyond, Aimee is busy planning a new album with fresh releases on the way. On her bucket list is traveling the world, with Nashville and New Orleans on her list, and hopes to inspire more Indigenous artists to incorporate language into their work.
