Hi y’all
This week on Local Music Shapes Culture, I have Jill “jilly$100billy” over to collage with me and talk about her music.
Jill just released her first EP Carpet on April 26th – a five-song journey she compares to the five stages of grief through hybrid genres. We dive into Jill’s inspiration behind the EP, discuss how her life experiences have shaped her as both a person and artist, and explore her desire to continue pursuing music-making and performing as a cathartic release.
Throughout our conversation, we create collages, chat about everything from astrology to her plans for transforming a space with negative memories into something new, and reflect on how she’s learning to trust that everything falls into place.
Excuse the audio quality, I did not set up the room the best for mic placement :)
