Digital girls exist. Theyre ultra trendy, with their cut-off mittens and MySpace, and if youre lucky, you might catch a glimpse of one of them on their way to a place where people much cooler than you are making things happen. But chances are the closest youll get to these gentle and elegant creatures of fashionable habit is if youre wired for sight and sound, and submit to the digital girl revolution.

This is something youre going to want to do, especially when Jillian Ann is high heeling her hip couture through the cyber nightlife, blowing kisses and fulfilling wishes. The musician/ model/actress epitomizes the digital girl culture, using every facet of imagination (yours and hers) to deliver her art in the most fresh and accessible way possible, through soundtracks, P2P, video games, Internet radio, clubs, walkways, and glossy photos. The digital girl is a market unto herself, driven by a look, guided by a voice, and made to stand out in a sea of soy milk, neon scarves, and strawberry lip gloss.

Jillian Ann has the look. Shes thin, stylish, and uniquely fetish, living in vain, manipulating glam punk tendencies and Hollywood memories to suit her chameleon charm. Shes desirably innocent looking, with sharp eyes and a porcelain cheek, like some stolen runaway from the Valley of the Dolls, and runs the gamut from classical mistress to modern jezebel. Shes 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.

Jillian Ann has the voice. When shes not in front of the lens, she spends her sun-filled days creating a Shirley Manson meets Portishead dreamscape of eclectic electro-pop, complete with ambient cries of infected harmony and tortured trip hop beats. She morphs and teases her weird prophetic acid trips into musical hybrids of estrogens and apocalyptic landscape. Youre sucked in immediately, your mind scouring to decipher the brainspeak. Shes international and in demand, a digital girl who embodies the certain charisma of rocks brightest stars, but spins it with a pearl handle and caresses its idyllic fragility just so, ready to catch the drops of truth that spill from its fresh wounds.

Jillian Ann stands out. Although she runs in fashionable circles that transcend the globe from New York to Milan, she takes satisfaction in surrounding herself with some the more homely, artistic, and personal pleasures of life, such as museums, gardens, intellectual conversation, spirituality, piano playing, poetry readings, yoga, and friendship. Jillian Ann dreams of love, people, the end of the world, and strange, deep, and insane things. And her deepest desire is for people to know they're loved and that it's ok to be real and real isnt perfect.

Its a revolution, a wired and weird world of it girls who are, at large, highly accessible attention seekers. Yet with every revolution comes the realization that there are but a few that will separate themselves from the crowd, rise above the weekend sales, and make a difference in your life. Jillian Ann was there when the whole thing went down, and shell still be there when the revolution sweeps by your computer screen, hotter than ever, setting trends, and defining culture with art that aims to defy digital decadence.



2004

Born and raised in the suburban outskirts of Atlanta, Georgia, Jillian grew up listening to Beethoven while finishing her homework. It was at an early age that she discovered her passion for lyrics and words, immersing herself into songwriting, poetry and extensive diary entries. Her journey as a teenager took her from a sheltered home to the big city life where she started to hang out with musicians, poets and other like-minded people who introduced her to the world and lifestyle of an artist. With the money from her blooming modeling career, she started to make music and plans to build her own studio. Her eyes on New York, she was ready for the big move. But like so often in life, times can get rough, and some serious personal setbacks put her musical aspirations on hold. Determined not to let her dream slip away, she pulled through all the difficulties and arrived in the Big Apple a few months later. After finishing her debut EP The Fallen, Jillian discovered the power of the Internet as a platform of music distribution. Always eager to learn, she was soon gaining recognition as one of the leading independent artists taking full advantage of this digital revolution in an industry desperate in need of changes. Her follow-up full-length Elucido Beta further established her as an accomplished artist and gained her respect among her peers and critics alike. But it wasnt until she recorded Neverland for indie label Emperor Penguin that she came fully into her own as a singer, songwriter and producer. The album was released to rave reviews, garnering her a pre-Grammy nomination in the Best New Artist category in 2003 by the Recording Academy. Being finally able to create new material in her own recording studio, Jillian Ann has amassed a music library of over 324 original songs, ranging from instrumental compositions for film and tv to avantgarde pop tracks resembling the complex sensitivity of fellow artists like Bjork, Kate Bush or trip-hop originators Portishead. She is currently in the studio recording her new project, working with a string of very talented people, elevating her career once again to the next level. There is already a buzz out there thanks to the increasing media coverage and attention, adding to the mystery of a girl that single-handedly catapulted herself out of complete obscurity to continuously having one of the top 100,000 most visited websites worldwide.
