MuzicNotez: First off, it’s an honor to be doing this interview with you Jildy, thanks for taking the time to sit down with us.
What motivated you to start creating music? What age did you begin?
JildyT: I was definitely born this way. LOL… I have been singing all my life. I began studying opera at age 11. I was cast in a Summer Stock Musical that is still running at the age of 12. I then worked professionally as a singer in that production for the next three years. I started writing music on the piano at that time as well.
MuzicNotez: Who were your musical influences, idols, or bands growing up that have helped mold you into the musician you are today? Or helped mold the music that you create?
JildyT: I think Pink has had a hand in my direction of style. I love her vocal hooks and I think we both personalize every song.
Making music is a weird thing. You have to be inspired by a situation as well as a musical influence. I will experience a painful or joyful or maybe really unusual feeling that I don’t understand and then sit down and write a song on piano. Kind of like a venting or therapeutic session. Ha
MuzicNotez: What’s the ultimate goal you want your music to achieve, or for you to achieve in your career as a musician? Any particular message you wish to send?
JildyT: As an artist I wish to make a difference in the world. My music is a labor of love. There is no ego in my motive at all. I write to get a message across to people who won’t listen to verbal communication. I am a big supporter of fighting against DV, domestic violence against women and children.
I have started “The Love Love Love Project”and Hollywood Hippie Records, which is a musical movement that promotes “LOVE” as the only option, the answer, the way…. to all happiness. Love matters. I give a portion of all my proceeds from iTunes, concerts, events, etc to charities. Please Help!!! That is not just my goal, it is my whole motivation and inspiration.
