Artist Profile: Jill Howard began singing when she was in the 4th grade, she would sing at talent shows and small events. During her 8th grade year, she decided to take guitar lessons from Zeb Smith. The first song that she learned to play and sing was “I Saw the Light”. Jill credits Zeb and her family for encouraging her to step out and perform more in public. Zeb was instrumental in Jill joining the band UTH where she is now the lead singer. Jill says they play many places in hopes of reaching a generation for Christ that others are afraid to reach. Now a Junior at SCHS, she is currently working on writing her own music and stepping out of her comfort zone. Jill says, being able to play in front of people every week at Jiving Java has made such a difference. “I have become much more confident in music and truly learned to connect with people by being able to practice“. “Singing is my passion. It is a gift that God has given me, and so I will use it for Him“. “The one thing that inspires me to keep going is my favorite verse Hebrews 12:28-29. It says," therefore since we are receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, let us be thankful and so worship with reference and awe. For our God is a consuming fire." Jill hosts “Open Mic” at Jiving Java every other week, be sure to stop by to see her performance soon.
