I'M MAKING MUSIC VIDEOS
BIOGRAPHY
Jillian Aversa is an award-winning vocalist, composer, performer, and YouTube artist whose shimmering voice has appeared in a medley of projects – from video games, film, and hit dance singles to her original solo albums. Her ethereal vocals can be heard in blockbuster video game franchises HALO (Microsoft), DESTINY (Bungie), GOD OF WAR (Sony), CIVILIZATION (Firaxis), KILLER INSTINCT (Microsoft), CRIMSON DRAGON (Microsoft), KATAMARI DAMACY (Namco Bandai), and SOULCALIBUR V (Namco Bandai) for which she co-composed the ending theme. Her many music videos on YouTube have received millions of views.
Graduating from Peabody Conservatory of Music with an extensive background in theater and vocal performance, Jillian commands the stage as well as the studio. In 2013 she began touring as a vocal soloist with VIDEO GAMES LIVE, an immersive orchestral concert series. Performing in 14 countries across 5 continents, she has become an international sensation in her own right.
Jillian’s original New Age/World music has garnered no less attention, with her albums Atlantis Awakening, Origins, and Through Sand and Snow landing international radio airplay and awards such as the $5,000 OurStage Music Grand Prize and JPF Best New Age Album. She enjoys collaborating with artists from around the globe, including her husband Andrew “zircon” Aversa, with whom she has co-written numerous popular dance singles and video game arrangements. With her silken voice and passionate vision, she is steadily becoming a critical and popular favorite – and redefining what we think of New Age music along the way.

Awakening to visions of a civilization long buried beneath the sea, a woman begins to wonder if they are mere dreams or memories from a past life. Aletheia: in search of truth, her timeless journey begins...
