Press Play: BANKS

Jillian Banks is from Los Angeles, California and boasts an unconventional sound of mixed genres. Her sound ranges from RnB to electronic with a splash of trip hop. Banks, as she is most commonly known, got her start when she was 15 years old writing songs and teaching herself how to play the piano. Her voice is strong and even though her music sounds dark, she counteracts that with smooth vocals.

Banks feels music is a way to let out human emotions. That is exemplified in her newest singles “Begging for Thread” and “Drowning”. Along with having a unique style, Banks gave out her personal phone number on her Facebook. Her debut album Goddess is set to release in early September and is something to keep an eye out for.
