Ann
Driscoll was born and raised in Cincinnati, Ohio. She first started playing
guitar when she was seven, inspired by The Beatles and Nirvana. She picked
up drums
and bass shortly thereafter. At ten, she began studying double and electric
bass formally, attending Interlochen Arts Camp for two summers and playing
in youth symphonies.
Now nineteen, she is a student at the Berklee School of Music where she
majors in electric bass and songwriting.
Ann has released her first self-titled EP. It has six songs which she
wrote and on which she performed all the instruments. The first three
songs were recorded at Sound Images,
a recording studio in downtown Cincinnati. The last three tracks were
recorded at home which friend David DeWitt mixed. David also did the photography/artwork
on the EP.
Intrigued
by artists in many different genres, Ann believes that everything she
listens to somehow affects and influences her music. Nevertheless, she
describes her sound as "Beatlesesque pop/rock."
Sound Images, admiring the work Ann did at their studio, contacted her
to sing on a tv and radio advertising spot for JTM,
a food corporation. She recorded the spot on Tuesday, November 30th, and
it aired on radio and tv during Cincinnati Reds games in Ohio and Kentucky.
