Born and raised in Chester Springs, Pennsylvania and spending most of her teen years in New York City, Jillian began singing at local coffee shops at the age of 7. Inspired by Patsy Cline and box sets of Elvis, Bobby Goldsboro, Trisha Yearwood, The Dixie Chicks, James Taylor, Carole King, Martina McBride, and Patty Loveless, she wrote and recorded her first album in her guitar player’s basement at age the age of 10.  At the age of 9, Jillian took a trip to New York City to audition for a Christmas show starring legendary country/pop singer & entertainer Kenny Rogers and got the part, leading her to co-star alongside Rogers in the Broadway production “Christmas from the Heart” at the Beacon Theater in New York City for three months. Following the show, Jillian performed on tour with Rogers from 1999-2005.   
In 2001 Dreamcatcher Entertainment released a duet with Billy Dean, Suzy Bogguss, and Jillian titled “Please Keep Mom and Dad in Love” which debuted on the Top 50 Billboard Country Music Charts. Jillian formed a band with her three sisters during this time called The Little Women Band and began touring and playing all over the U.S, including a residency at The Bitter End in New York and state fairs all over the country.  Jillian moved to Nashville, TN in 2010 after graduating from college and spent the past few years writing and recording new material. In 2013 she wrote and recorded a 6 song project with pop singer/songwriter and record producer Richard Marx. She signed with Downtown Music Publishing in Nashville in August 2014 and was recently named one of Spotify’s “Spotlight on Country” Artists to Watch in 2015.

During his set at the Tamworth Country Music Festival in January Shane Nicholson – singer, songwriter, producer and a champion of emerging artists – invited a guest to the stage. Her name was Camille Trail, a young singer songwriter from Central Queensland, who’s debut album Shane had just produced. 

One of the interesting things about Camille, Shane told the audience as his guest took to the stage, was that she’s the only person he’d ever worked with who paid for the recording of an album by selling a couple of bulls. 

As much as that is true – Trail was born, raised and still lives and works on her family’s cattle farm west of Rockhampton  – anyone in the audience expecting a singing cowgirl was in for a surprise. 

Instead Camille, accompanied by Shane and his band, delivered a haunting and masterful rendition of the moody title track of Nicholson’s ARIA award winning album Hell Breaks Loose. 

Camille nailed it, the audience loved it, and it tipped the scales into a recording agreement  with Compass Bros Records - a stellar start to 2020 for the 21 year old singer songwriter from the cattle farm in Central Queensland.

Camille Trail was introduced to the joy of music at an early age. “Most mornings I’d wake up to music - Norah Jones, Bob Dylan, Kasey Chambers & Shane Nicholson and other great singer songwriters.  Dad and I would dance in the kitchen while Mum cooked breakfast. I think that’s why I love music so much – plus I loved listening to my mum play piano accordion - it was my entire childhood really”.

She learned piano from the age of eight and was soon writing her own songs. After high school she committed to her musical ambitions and studied song writing at the JMC Academy in Brisbane.  

While attending JMC Camille would study by day and play as many gigs as possible at night – honing her craft, testing her songs on audiences and finding a community of peers. 

It’s also when she wrote the songs on her forthcoming album.  “I was writing in the early hours of the morning or late at night. I found that was when inspiration hit me the most. I was inspired by heartbreak of course, love, and also what I was reading at the time and even just looking out the window and people watching.”

Camille sent a demo to Shane Nicholson asking if he’d be interested in producing her album. Nicholson responded enthusiastically and the album was recorded in three weeks during February 2019. 

Camille Graduated from JMC with a Bachelor of Music, specialising in songwriting, in April 2019. In July that year her debut single and video Humming Chain was released independently. It reached #6 on the iTunes singer songwriter chart and introduced the world to an extraordinary new talent. 

Now, Camille releases her second single Devils Drink.

“I wrote Devil's Drink around the idea of something following you - whether it's a person or a fear - and no matter what you do, you just can't shake it off. I struggle with anxiety so this links in with me dealing with the pressures it brings and trying to shake it all off. I hope the song connects because I feel that the message is universal – in one way or another maybe everyone has something they're trying to outrun.”

The video for Devil’s Drink was directed by multi award winning director Duncan Toombs of The Filmery. 

“We see the shadow of a dark spirit following me through the late night back streets of Sydney. It possesses by-standers as I walk past.  The tension builds as I become more and more worried – looking over my shoulder and trying to outrun whatever it is that’s stalking me.” 

Devil’s Drink, the new single from Camille Trail, released on Compass Bros through Universal Music Australia  on February 28th.

My personal musical dumping ground. This is where I tend to write guitar-riffs / songs in a few hours, and then record them via my phone. They are then either ditched/forgotten (I use 10 different open tunings), or progress into more establshed compositions. Hope you enjoy. :)
