Jillea

Jillea, the 24-year-old sensation hailing from New Brunswick, defies stereotypes with her unique blend of pop music. Despite boasting 25 tattoos, 11 piercings, and striking black hair, her sound is far from the expected hard rock or punk genres. Instead, Jillea captivates audiences with her emotive voice, delivering pop tunes infused with a delicate sensitivity.

Her journey to musical acclaim began when she clinched victory in Slaight Music’s 2013 It’s Your Shot songwriting and artist development competition with her poignant ballad “Shattered” and the infectious “Drive Slow,” both garnering Top 20 recognition. Since then, Jillea has graced prestigious stages like We Day(s), co-hosted the iHeartRadio MMVA Red Carpet, and earned a Canadian Award Nomination, establishing herself as a force to be reckoned with in the Canadian music scene.

Beyond her musical prowess, Jillea’s unparalleled work ethic and innate talent for songwriting set her apart, positioning her as a valuable asset to today’s Pop/Soul and R&B performers. Additionally, her unexpected fusion of music and cosplay has sparked a second career, where she captivates audiences at events like Fan Expo Canada, showcasing her creativity and imagination alongside her music.

As she continues to hone her craft in the studio, Jillea remains deeply connected to her fanbase, engaging with them on platforms like Instagram under the handle @whoisjillea. With her dedication, innovation, and boundless talent, Jillea is poised to leave an indelible mark on the music industry and beyond.
