Jill Desiree

“Tickety Tock” pairs Jill Desiree’s soulful vocals with the unmistakable jazz flute of Katisse Buckingham, riding a laid-back, funky groove filled with tight horn lines and rich, organic instrumentation. Blending classic soul feeling with contemporary musicianship, the track delivers a rhythmically playful vibe that feels equally at home on jazz, soul, and groove-driven playlists.

The song has recently advanced to the Semi-Finals of the 2025 International Songwriting Competition (ISC) in the R&B/Soul category, one of the most respected international songwriting competitions. It’s truly an honor to have the song recognized among so many talented writers and artists.

“Tickety Tock” came from a very personal moment in my life, and knowing that it resonated with the ISC judges means a great deal to me. I’m deeply grateful to the musicians and production team who helped bring the track to life, and to everyone who has supported the music along the way. Your encouragement continues to inspire me.
