Jillian was born and raised in Linwood, NJ. Her first performance was a dance recital at the age of four where decked in head to toe clown costume and makeup, Jillian proudly sashayed on stage only to take one look at the audience and begin profusely vomiting all over her fellow clowns. Though a rocky start, Jillian somehow knew that from that day on show business was for her.
In her pre-teens Jillian found a passion for singing, songwriting, and recording, and hasn’t stopped since. From age 12 she has starred in musical theatre and opera productions alike, eventually going to college for jazz vocal performance at The University of the Arts, and then continuing her training at the Mason Gross School of the Arts at Rutgers University where she majored in classical vocal performance. She has had principal and supporting roles in film and television, and has had lead roles in over 5 national commercials. Jillian also made a brief move to Atlanta, GA where she found success as a prominent songwriter for R&B, pop, and hip-hop artists.
Now in New York City, Jillian continues to write songs for herself and others while pursuing a career in theatre. She is a proud member of Actor’s Equity Association and AFTRA.
