"...The overall effect is stiletto heeled Pop with a ferocious attitude all inclusive, along the lines of the glamorous cool that Gwen Stefani manages to put out. Jac&Jill are evidently dance floor divas without even trying." - Dann Gaymer (DSD Magazine)

There's a vast but uniquely familiar range of musical inspiration in Jac&Jill's music. From the Motown influenced harmonies that texture the backdrop of tracks like "Mm' Mm' Good" and "Listen" to the infectious Pop/Rock hooks and driving riffs of "Can't Stop", it becomes apparent that popular music has always been a source of inspiration for Jaclyn and Jill. In fact, their passion for pop music grew from very similar roots.

Jaclyn (Jac) Quatela and Jill Winter were both born and raised in New York and came from very musical families. Jac's family used to harmonize around the kitchen table and her father played drums in an "oldies" band. Jill's father was a singer in a doo wop group and her brother played guitar and sang. Both girls realized, respectively, that they were musically inclined at an early age. Jac began taking voice lessons at the tender age of 6 and later decided to teach herself piano as well. Jill was always picking up guitars/basses and drumsticks and by the age of 13 was a drummer in a rock band.

Both went directly to college after graduating high school to study music and attain a greater knowledge of their craft while continuing to perform in various local bands. At this point, neither of the girls knew that their musical counterpart existed....

Jaclyn and Jill finally crossed paths in the Fall of 2006 when Jaclyn auditioned for a band that Jill was playing bass in. One day while passing the time before band rehearsal, Jac sat down behind her piano, Jill picked up an electric guitar and the two realized immediately that their musical chemistry was undeniable. From that point on, they started writing music together and decided to part ways with the band they were in to pursue their journey as "Jac&Jill". Luckily, they didn't have to think long and hard about their band name! :)

After writing over two dozen songs, the duo worked with Producer/Engineers Patrick Ermlich and Eshy Gazit (Lisa Loeb, Estelle, Red Hot Chili Peppers etc.) at The Cutting Room Studios (NYC) on bringing the Jac&Jill sound to life. Together they created a unique vibe that mixes elements of the 60's, 70's and 80's with current pop sensibility. Jac&Jill are currently finishing up their ten song album and playing various venues in the Tri-State area with their live band to support its' release. They were fortunate enough to have their first single, "Mm' Mm' Good" placed in a video game by the toy company "Jakks Pacific". The song is featured on the exclusive Wal-Mart version of "Sing Scene Pop" and is available in stores and online now!
