Lilli loved music from a young age and it quickly became her favourite forms of communication and storytelling. Gaining skills in keyboard/piano, ukulele, guitar and singing gave Lilli to chance to share the songs that had been forming in her head, out loud, and she loves performing live! "I have creative parents, both with acting/performance backgrounds, and I think I must have inherited that because I love live music performance," says LIlli.
However 'my faith in Jesus,' is what Lilli says is the number one thing she brings to the Australian music industry. "He inspires, either directly or indirectly, the contents, contexts, and sound of my music", she explains
LILLI’s lyrics, all self-penned, delve into themes of friendship, life’s challenges, heaven, and love, offering a glimpse into the life of a 22-year-old Aussie navigating the world with the assurance of God’s presence.
"I think my approach to song writing is a little different than typical pop artists, perhaps, as my favourite genres to listen to are film scores, classical pieces, random bits of jazz and 80s tracks," shared Lilli. The result is an eclectic sound, very distinctive to regular pop.
Lilli's purpose for writing and creating music, and performing live shows is to ultimately point back to Jesus. "Music sticks in your head, so if we can combat the lies of the enemy with truth that everyone hears, truth that gets stuck in people's heads attached to a tune, THAT can make a difference!"
Lilli is not only a promising emerging artist, but also the pioneering talent for the newly established Australian Christian Records. This innovative label, spearheaded by respected EDM producer Aaron Duff, aims to reignite Australia’s indie music scene. Australian Christian Records is dedicated to supporting emerging Christian artists who are confident in their faith and aspire to be positive role models for Generation Z.
