Jill Phillips is a Nashville-based singer-songwriter who got her start in the business after graduating from Belmont University in 1998. Her guitar based folk-rock sound combines with rich, insightful lyrics that deal with age-old topics in new and fresh ways. Her self-titled debut album on Word Records was produced by grammy-award winning songwriter Wayne Kirkpatrick (“Change Your World” recorded by Eric Clapton) also known for producing such artists as Amy Grant, Garth Brooks and Susan Ashton.
After touring extensively with Caedmon’s Call and Bebo Norman, Phillips decided to step out and record her next album independently. Produced with Matt Stanfield (Plumb) and Andy Gullahorn, God and Money received critical acclaim and helped Phillips to be named CCM magazine’s reader’s choice for Independent Artist of the Year in 2002.
In 2003 Phillips teamed with Fervent Records and released her third album, Writing on the Wall, a powerful collection of songs strengthened by the musical contributions of Andy Gullahorn, Matt Stanfield, Matt Slocum (Sixpence None the Richer), Stephen Mason (Jars of Clay), Bebo Norman and Andrew Peterson to name a few. Reviewer Michael Ciani calls Writing on the Wall Phillips’ “strongest album of acoustic folk-pop to date… Phillip’s vocals are warm and rich, the writing is brilliant and the production is appropriately complimentary… undoubtedly one of the year’s best”.
After releasing a specialty CD project in 2005 entitled Kingdom Come, Phillips is currently in the studio recording her fourth album tentatively titled Nobody’s Got it All Together.
Even as a mother of two children, Jill still makes time for a steady traveling schedule with concerts and events across the country at churches, colleges and conferences. She considers this to be one of the most important parts of her ministry because it allows her to share her stories through the songs and to connect personally with the people there.
Most importantly Jill loves to cook, visit the Outer Banks of North Carolina, and watch Meet The Press.
