Jilian Linklater's father turned off the cable every August when she was a teenager. In the process, he may have inadvertently derailed what could have been a brilliant career in medicine. His intent was to encourage Jilian and her siblings to find something productive to do in their free time besides just watch television.
So as a fourteen year old with no access to The Gilmore Girls, Jilian did the only thing she could do. She taught herself to play the guitar.
She then met a boy with a bushy blonde 'fro who also played the guitar. She says of the young man, "This was pretty straight forward. He was older, played guitar, introduced me to some of my now favorite music, and I wanted to impress him."
She became even better at playing the guitar.
While she was a junior in high school she entered a Taylor Swift karaoke singing competition while accompanying herself on guitar (Is that still karaoke?). She won. The prize was a trip to Nashville during CMA Fest where she learned that songwriting could be a career. She ended up attending Belmont University and majoring in songwriting, This is when she said goodbye to her previous dream of becoming a pediatrician and became fully committed to becoming a musician.
Her song “Magnet” has more than 300,000 plays on Spotify.
"I'm making music and learning what a successful career in music looks like to me." reveals Jilian, She's released two EPs, moved someone to tears with her songs, has cuts on the albums of some notable Nashville artists and made a fifteen year old girl feel like she wasn't alone in her heartbreak.
This fall she will release three singles including “Time To Go” which is featured in the trailer to Amazon’s ‘Eat The World with Emeril Lagasse.' She is also working on a new EP.
"I consider all these events successes", says Ms. Linklater. So it does look like medicine's loss may indeed be music's gain.
