The San Francisco-based artist has garnered multiple awards and a devoted following for her evocative cinematic music, sophisticated lyrics, old-world glamour, and curious passion for strange tales.
Hailed by critics as a "femme fatale for the thinking man," Tracy was described by NPR's All Things Considered as "utterly intriguing... luring you into a magical kingdom solely of her creation." LA Weekly calls her "very distinctive and exciting."
Her signature sound conjures up images of wonder cabinets, hidden passageways and opium dens. Of marvels, monsters, and mayhem. But at the same time, it's shockingly new. Jill Tracy coos in a voice of cut-velvet smoke, ornately framed by her dark trademark classical-cum-parlour piano, creating a world of opulence and danger, of magic and madness. As one critic put it: "You know it's not safe here; but with Jill Tracy as your guide, you'll be in no hurry to leave."
Backed by the Malcontent Orchestra, a lavish ensemble of strings, woodwinds, drums and percussion, Jill Tracy's music creeps its way under your skin in a tantalizing, yet delightfully unsettling fashion.
With her forays into filmmaking, writing, acting and theatre, Jill Tracy is redefining the image of modern day renaissance artist. But beneath her trademark sound and style lurks cold steel. No corporate-contrived cookie cutter blandness here. She is refreshing proof that smart... is sexy.
As leading lady of a lavish Grand Guignol theatrical revival, Jill Tracy recently graced the stage starring in Thrillpeddlers' "Welcome to the Hypnodrome," a collection of classic 1920s plays that were performed at the legendary Paris shockstage.
Her 2003 animated short film, The Fine Art of Poisoning (directed by Bill Domonkos) has won close to 30 national film festival awards this year alone, including being named one of the "Best Short Films of the Year" by both the New York City and Chicago Film Foundations.
