Ainslie began developing her musical skills at a very young age by playing along with songs that she liked at the time.(eg:"That's what friends are for" or anything from arguably one of the worst films ever made "Xanadu")

After high-school Ainslie set out to refine her skills. She left her rural home in Albury and moved to Ballarat where she studied for a diploma in music and performed regularly at local venues. During this time Ainslie began writing more and more.

After completing her diploma, Ainslie was accepted into the Victorian College of the Arts in Melbourne. Here she studied under the masterful Julie O'hara, learning the ins and outs of Jazz and Improvisation.

Although Ainslie has spent much of her time studying Jazz, it is in pop/rock music where her heart truly lies.

Ainslie's Influences range from Dvorak through Wes Montgomery to Jeff Buckley, Tori Amos and beyond. And the Carpenters. She really likes the Carpenters.
Ainslie performs regularly around Melbourne. Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
