About Me

I'm a classically trained pianist and incredibly shy singer who writes songs as a personal process... like quiet journal entries sung under the breath and written in the margins. I like to keep the music simple and emphasize the lyrics. I never edit. How you hear them is how they come out... lyrics, music, the whole bit. Even though I've been playing 18 years, I think of myself more as a creative writer than a musician, although I'm truly fascinated by the weaving of words in song. At any rate, enjoy the music. Let me know what you think. Please share your music too! Endless Joy, Jillian.
