Lucky? Yeah, it’s true.
JIL started playing in bars on the French Riviera at 12, skipping school to perform.
His mom cried, but he didn’t care. Poor Martine.
Still, Jil loves his mom.
At 18, he moved to Paris and sent a demo to a new producer, who signed him right away.
100 shows later, he released his first album, praised by both the public and critics.
Flower by Kenzo fragrance used his track “The Wanderer” in a stunning ad (yes, those exist), aired worldwide, with his music front and center.
And he traveled the world with his lifelong band: childhood friends and his brother.
In India, he was even attacked by a tiger; he spent hours up in a tree and used the time to think about his second album, In the Tiger's Bed, produced by Jason Lader (Coldplay, Timberlake).
Just another day in his life.
Today? Same team, same happiness.
The albums did well, or less so.
But he remains steady, trusting in his lucky star.
Lucky? He sure is.
“May The Robots Do It Better”
That says it all.
After exploring folk, power pop, a French concept album with a 360 VR short film (phew!), and an indie West Coast album produced by Renaud Letang (Mac DeMarco, Feist) ... a week before the global lockdown (not so lucky!).
JIL is back to basics with a fifth album, and it’s very political.
But, as always with him, the politics is subtle—it’s heard, not seen, never in your face
May the robots do it better…
