East Coast-bred Jillian X weaves the raw energy of her Jersey roots with the undeniable groove of Chicago. Drawing inspiration from the Jersey sound, Chicago house, rave, disco, and freestyle, Jillian X creates a sonic experience that’s both nostalgic and cutting-edge: an embodiment of a journey shaped by roots in NJ and a soul awakened in Chicago. Jillian X has DJ’d throughout Chicago at Smartbar, Le Nocturne, Sound-Bar, Celeste, Emporium, Sleeping Village, Virgin Hotels, Arbella, Nine Bar, Logan11, and has performed at North Coast Music Festival and My House Music Fest. Jillian X has curated events for Red Bull Dance Your Style, Third Coast Tattoo Show, Silver Room Block Party, Sleeping Village, The Whistler and Elastic Arts, and has opened for acts such as Haiku Hands, Franc Moody, Derrick Carter, Terry Hunter, and more.
