"the elegant side of the netherworld."-- composer, singer, storyteller, woman of mystery...
About Me:
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 has deemed her "the cult darling of the Underworld."
Her signature sound conjures up images of wonder cabinets, hidden passageways and opium dens, but at the same time, it's shockingly new. Jill Tracy coos in a voice of cut-velvet smoke, ornately framed by her trademark dark parlour classical 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."
Her songs have appeared in numerous films and compilations, in addition to winning the SIBL international grand prize for songwriting.The track "Evil Night Together" is featured on Projekt's "A Dark Cabaret," and on the CBS hit TV show NAVY NCIS.
"The Fine Art of Poisoning" was developed into an animated short film in 2003, a collaboration with acclaimed visual artist Bill Domonkos. The film has garnered well over 30 film festival awards internationally, and still continues to screen at festivals worldwide.
Jill Tracy and The Malcontent Orchestra's beloved original score to F.W. Murnau's 1922 silent vampire classic Nosferatu found the band touring Northern California theatres during Halloween season for five consecutive years to manic sell-out crowds. The 2002 live CD "Into the Land of Phantoms" contains selections from the Nosferatu score.
With her forays into film scoring, 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.
