Biography
Originally from Toronto, Ainsworth was born to a singer-songwriter father and a set designer mother. She began learning cello at age 10 and attended the Etobicoke School of the Arts as a teenager. She completed a Bachelor's degree in music composition at McGill University and was named an Emerging Artist by the Canada Council for the Arts in 2008. She moved to New York City to complete a Master's degree in music composition on a grant at New York University. She began composing student films while at McGill University, and in 2011 she composed the score for the film The Woods directed by Matthew Lessner. She began recording her first album, Right from Real, in her New York apartment after a period of self-imposed isolation, but completed the album in Toronto. The album was released by Montreal-based independent label Arbutus Records and in 2015 was a nominee for the Juno Award for the Electronic Album of the Year. In 2016, she was named by CBC Music as one of "6 Canadian female producers you need to know." Ainsworth announced her second album, Darling of the Afterglow, on January 10, 2017.
