Jillian Aversa
Soundtrack Vocalist
Jillian Aversa is an award-winning soundtrack vocalist, concert soloist, composer, and YouTube artist. Her shimmering voice has been featured in blockbuster video game franchises Halo, Destiny, God of War, Civilization, Soulcalibur, Killer Instinct, Katamari Damacy, Crimson Dragon, Honor of Kings, and more. In addition to her soundtrack performances, she is widely known as a soloist with various symphonic game concerts across the globe – including the international concert tour Video Games Live. Her popular YouTube channel features music videos that have received millions of views, as well as coverage in Polygon, Wired, Game Informer, and Nerdist.
Jillian has performed as a soloist with the Boston Symphony, National Symphony, Melbourne Symphony, Baltimore Symphony, San Diego Symphony, Shanghai Orchestra, City of Prague Philharmonic, and National Symphony in Dubai, among many others. As the touring vocal soloist for Video Games Live, an immersive symphonic concert series, she has performed in 14 countries across 5 continents, becoming an international sensation in her own right.
Notable concert events where Jillian has been a featured vocalist include the San Diego Comic Con, E3 Expo, Tokyo Game Show, at several official Blizzard Entertainment concerts held in arenas across China, with the Video Game Orchestra in Boston, at the Beacon Theatre on Broadway, A Night in Fantasia with the Macau Symphony, and Video Games Unplugged with the Melbourne Symphony, hosted by actor Wil Wheaton.
As a performer on major video game soundtracks, Jillian is often regarded as “the voice of Halo,” singing on four games in the popular franchise as well as on the TV mini series Halo: Fall of Reach. Her versatile range spans distinctive solos to intricate harmonies, improvisation, and lush one-woman choirs. Jillian’s recorded languages include English, Latin, Italian, French, German, Japanese, Russian, Polish, and even fictional languages such as in the lyrics featured in the Soulcalibur V ending theme, a piece she co-wrote with composer Cris Velasco.
Though she is a classically trained soprano with a degree in vocal performance from Peabody Conservatory of Music, Jillian is also accomplished in non-Western singing styles. She is the featured vocalist of the sample library “Allura” by virtual instrument developer Impact Soundworks, used by hundreds of composers around the world. There, her distinctive range is on display as both a soprano and in several World music vocal traditions.
Jillian also composes and performs original New Age music. Her solo albums Atlantis Awakening, Origins, and Through Sand and Snow have been streamed hundreds of thousands of times worldwide, landing international radio airplay and awards such as the $5,000 OurStage Music Grand Prize and JPF Best New Age Album.
Outside her soundtrack and solo work, Jillian also enjoys collaborating on original music with other artists – including her husband Andrew "zircon" Aversa, with whom she has co-written and performed on numerous popular EDM tracks. Her vocals can be heard on the two time Grammy-winning album Calling All Dawns by Christopher Tin, and the two musicians wrote an original song together for One Big Album, a charity release featuring a star roster of video game composers. She has also collaborated with Grammy-nominated cellist and composer Tina Guo on numerous occasions.
With her silken voice and passionate vision, Jillian Aversa has become both a critical and popular favorite – commanding the stage, the studio, and redefining what we think of New Age music along the way.
