want to see it..............
Jillian Ann: Jillian Ann is an intoxicating blend of style and creativity. She is the manifold embodiment of talent and the epitome of free spirited, sublime ambition. She’s the cover of your magazine, the one you stare at on the street, the beautiful umbrella in your expensive drink, the electrifying digital girl of page, stage, and screen, one woman antidote to an analog world. Determined and resourceful, street wise and innovative, Jillian Ann and her unique music is the astonishing center of our attention.
Jillian’s voice is naturally angelic and mirrors her inner and outer grace. As an accomplished recording artist, her creativity matches her complex musicianship. This is unmistakably evident listening to each of her three current releases.
In 2003, Jillian truly came into her own as a singer, songwriter and producer with Neverland, Jillian’s first release with independent label, Emperor Penguin. The album received enthusiastic response, even garnering her a pre-Grammy nomination in the Best New Artist category in 2003 by the Recording Academy.
Jillian has an uncanny habit of drawing opportunity,. such as an invitation to perform at one of the most prestigious events on the musical planet. Jillian performs as a special featured guest of Kevens at the 2006 Ultra Festival. Kevens headlines the event alongside The Killers, Prodigy, Paul Oakenfold, Car Cox, Danny Tenaglia, JunkieXL, HOTHOTHEAT, Danny Howell, BT, Pete Tong, Josh Wink and Perry Farrell, to name a few.
Jillian Ann’s work ethic is truly awesome. She is releasing her fourth album this year, itself an audacious progression in her development as an artist, adding to her already impressive recorded library of over 240 original songs. As a child of the internet, Jillian is extremely active promoting her music on profiles, recently ranked in the myspace top twenty in the electronica genre, though a listen to any of her latest work makes clear that she defies any easy categorization. Not so surprisingly, but impressive to be sure, Jillian’s website http://jillianann.com/ ranks in the top 100,000-200,000 on the web receiving 3 million or more hits a month. Take a visit…get intoxicated!
