Interview with Jillian Farrar

JILLIAN FARRAR is an accomplished singer-songwriter, screen play writer, music publisher, director, producer and soon-to-be published author. She is the CEO of Bella Lyrics and a co-founder/managing partner of Fierce Ink, Incorporated. Her new children's book titled Lexi & Lily (The Brave Choice) is a story of awareness surrounding sexual abuse, a matter that hits close to home for her personally.  "For me it's about making our children aware of such predators or situations, teaching them how to protect themselves by knowing and recognizing right from wrong and most importantly, about breaking the silence", says Jillian. Growing up in the small town of Franklin, Louisiana, her musical journey began when she became obsessed with music, poetry, and writing. It was then that she began singing, had a vocal coach at age 7 and by 17 was seriously considering the possibility of a career in the world of music. Motivated by her passion and her father, who not only taught her to dream but to reach for the stars, Jillian made the move to Nashville in July 1998. Soon after arriving she met Charlie Craig (a respected writer, publisher and producer having written songs such as "Wanted" for Alan Jackson, "Between An Old Memory and Me" for Keith Whitley and Travis Tritt - and countless other songs) whom would become her mentor, dearest friend and producer for almost 13 years until losing his battle with cancer in July 2011. In late 2013, Jillian partnered with Cece Dubois to form Fierce Ink, Incorporated, a newly formed media corporation that will reach into, and will be involved in, all genres and areas of entertainment.
