Jillian Rocafort - Born September 11^th , 1981, she learned at a very early age that music was the soul of her existence.  She continued her education in music and graduated from Florida State University with a B.A. in Humanities and an emphasis in Ethno-Musicology.  One of her most memorable moments from her college years is when she performed one on one with the legendary Ellis Marsalis at a student convention.  A must see dignified performance with such a rare combination of home grown rich and raspy textures it will have you captivated for quite some time.  Jillian began performing with live bands shortly after high school and played with several local Tallahassee acts during college to include: SugarShak, an alternative Fusion/Rock ensemble with a Blues & Jazz flavor; G.C.3, Funk-a-Delic; Low Tide, a Southern Rock & Blues band; as well, she sang back up for the Revolutions, a Prince tribute band. She also, had the opportunity to appear on both local TV and radio during these years, as well as open for some major headliners such as: Fishbone, Longinue Parsons, George Clinton & the Pfunk Allstars, Zap, Cornel Bruce Hampton, Sir Charles Atkins and Charmaine Nevelle.
