Long Description
Born with a passion to inspire and ignite the souls of those who hear her songs, singer/songwriter Jacqui Hylton continues to capture audiences with her lush vocals and raw harmonic resonance. Her sound has developed into an acoustic blend of American pop and jazz—vibrant melodies generously supporting songs carrying messages of hope, love and simple truths. Her deep wish is, “To use music as a tool to heal, comfort and inspire others to greatness” and notes that, “If I can give people the hope to believe in themselves, then my work has been accomplished.”
Ms. Hylton created The Power of Women Music concerts to be an instrument of change—to address the inequality of female musicians and artists in the music industry and to uplift non-profit organizations that support women and children. Jacqui is inspired to uphold The Foundation for Special People, a non-profit organization for people with disabilities www.foundationsforspecialpeople.org and The HerShe Group, a non-profit mentoring program for young women in the foster care system, www.hershegroup.org.

After studying with the Royal Conservatory of Music, Jacqui showcased her talents with Oscar Peterson’s protégé jazz pianist Ken Skinner and the Jazz Mongers. Well know in the Los Angeles Music Scene as a musician and singer, she has built a solid fan base.

Jacqui heads her own all female band Jacqui Hylton and The Ladies of Jazz which includes the talents of critically acclaimed charismatic bassist Nedra Wheeler, Grammy nominated pianist Gail Jhonson, and grammy nominated saxophonist Carol Chaikin, as well as a team of exceptional musicians.

She has received special recognition for her music and has recorded two albums on her independent label Freedom Music Records.
