The Australian born, Indonesian raised singer brings a fresh, global perspective to vintage R&B and soul.
Few artists embody the spirit of classic soul, jazz, and R&B like Jill Desiree. Born in Australia, raised in Indonesia, and educated at the Berklee College of Music, Jill follows in the tradition of artists like Chaka Khan, Aretha Franklin, and Whitney Houston by blending evocative vocals with the expert musicianship of some of LA's most creative and virtuosic players.
Jill entered the spotlight with her debut EP, "Cover Story." Recorded live with some of the most prolific names in the industry, it is the perfect introduction to a dynamic artist with a vital story to tell. After releasing "Cover Story" to rave reviews, Desiree followed up with the "Sounds Like Music" single and "Broken," which won the Best Jazz Award in the 29th Annual USA Songwriting Competition. Jill was selected as a Semi-Finalist in the 2025 Unsigned Only Music Awards for her performance of “The Rain Can Fall” in the Best Female Vocalist category. She also advanced to the Semi-Finals in the R&B/Soul category of the 2025 International Songwriting Competition for her song “Tickety Tock.” As Jill continues to refine her sound, “Tickety Tock” marks another step forward in her evolving journey as an artist, songwriter, and performer.
