You may remember Jillian Jensen from X factor Season 2
or American Idol Season 13.
Well, in 2017, Jillian decided she wanted to escape the X-Factor and American Idol stigma, she created a stage name "Amber Eyes." Shortly after, Jillian was recognized by Katy Perry in a Glamour Magazine segment of "You Sang My Song," where Katy was blown away after watching a cover of her song "Unconditionally" by Jillian and Fellow American Idol alum Brielle Von Hugel.
In March 2018, Jillian performed a cover of Halsey's, "Bad At Love" with Internet sensations Post Modern Jukebox, which led to her joining them on their tour in
April/May of 2018.
Jillian then started her own country band in September 2018
and proceeded to merge the name "Amber Eyes" to the group project.
The band rapidly gained traction and was invited by Matthew Ramsey (of Old Dominion) to participate in incredible opportunities, such as opening for Old Dominion, Jordan Davis and Mitchell Tenpenny at the Bank of New Hampshire Pavilion, and performing at the Zac Brown Band concert pre-party at Fenway Stadium through Country 102.5.
On September 10th, 2019, Amber Eyes released their self-titled debut album, which charted at #69 on the Top 100 iTunes/Country Charts.
On June 3rd, 2021, Amber Eyes released the music video for "Will You Listen Anyway", the title track off of their 2021 EP.
They have a new EP out entitled, "This is the Best of Me".
