She grew up with two siblings – Jack Osbourne who was born on 8 November 1985 and Kelly Osbourne who was born on 27 October 1984. She also has three step-siblings that her father sired with his ex-wife Thelma Riley, Elliot Kingsley, Jessica Osbourne and Louis Osborne. Her maternal grandfather Don Arden is also a popular name in the music industry, whose real name was Harry Levy and was a music manager. Aimee and her family had unresolved differences and that’s why she left home when she was just 16.
Education
Where Aimee attended high school is not evident to us at the moment, however, she apparently quit studies when she left home.
Career
Films
Aimee started her career as young as eight years old when she appeared as a child in some documentaries related to her father’s career. She also appeared in 1998 in “The Howard Stern Show”. In 2002, she voiced the audiobook “Officially Osbourne: Opening the Doors to the Land of Oz”. She gained mainstream success as an actor in 2003, when she was selected in MTV’s adaptation of “Wuthering Heights” in which where she played alongside Katherine Heigl, Erika Christensen and Mike Vogel. In 2014, she worked as a voice actor for “Postman Pat: The Movie” and voiced the character of Amy Wrigglesworth.
Music
She took up the pseudonym ARO which are her initials and started recording music and releasing it as well. Her musical style has been characterized as synth-pop, which is a drastic contrast to her father’s musical style that is described as heavy metal. In 2015, she released her debut music video entitled “Raining Gold”. The single was a massive success and gained 2.5 million views on YouTube in just two months. She described her music as ‘The rest of the album is still very much kind of cinematic, haunting, and atmospheric feel. Some of the songs are a little heavier; some of the songs are bit more sweet (sic), but still kind of spooky in a way.’ She has performed in three live shows – Union Pool and Mercury Lounge both in New York in April 2015, and The Echo in Los Angeles on 9 February 2016.
She has expressed her nervousness in performing before an audience, and has learned to calm herself down saying ‘I’ve learned to kind of accept that [if being nervous before a show is] what’s going on inside of me, to just ignore it a little bit.’ She released two more videos in 2016, entitled “I Can Change” and “Cocaine Style”.
She then took a break, until in October 2018 announcing on her Instagram handle that she was currently working on an EP, and thanked her fans for all the patience. On 5 December she released a teaser of her new EP, with a snippet of her song entitled “Beats of My Heart”. On 13 February 2020, Aimee posted an update on her EP’s status saying ‘Thank you all so much for your interest. Not long to go now’. She updated her fans on the debut album’s progress, saying that it would now be released under the indie record label “Makerecords”.
The MTV Reality Show “The Osbournes”
Aimee refused to film for the reality show “The Osbournes”, since she is a private person and thought that by appearing on the show the audience would typecast her, affecting her musical career. Her siblings Jack and Kelly earned fans from their appearance on the show. Sharon Osbourne talked to CBS morning talk show called “The Talk” saying ‘Aimee didn’t want to grow up on camera. She hated the idea, it was appalling to her. And so she left at 16 and I regret every day that she did.’
Aimee talked through NYLON magazine about her decision not to be part of “The Osbournes”, saying ‘It was just not my aspiration. Everywhere you went people wanted to know everything, and that when you’re growing up that can be kind of intimidating. The idea of kind of letting it all out there at that point, at around fifteen… Nobody at fifteen wants anybody to see how goofy their parents are.’
Even though Aimee hated the thought of being under the spotlight when she was younger, she eventually grew up to become a household name in the entertainment business, with her acting and singing career. Born John Michael Osbourne on 3 December 1948, he is a singer, songwriter, television personality and actor. He rose to fame as the lead vocalist of the band Black Sabbath, and nicknamed himself the ‘Prince of Darkness’ during the time. He was let go from the band due to problems with alcohol and drugs in 1979, however, kept working on his music and had a successful solo music career. He released 12 albums during his musical tenure, and seven of them were awarded multi-platinum certifications.
He reunited with Black Sabbath in 1979 and recorded the album “13”.
He has earned himself an informal title due to his successful music career as the “Godfather of Heavy Metal”. Ozzy became a television star through the MTV reality show “The Osbournes”, in which he starred along with his wife Sharon who is also his manager, and his two children Kelly and Jack. He is currently still involved with the TV industry by starring in the series “Ozzy & Jack’s World Detour” along with Kelly and Jack.
Awards
He earned his first Grammy in 1994 for the song “I don’t want to change the world” for Best Metal Performance. In 2004, he was rewarded with Godlike Genius at the NME awards.
