Gilli Moon

Gilli Moon is a Hollywood based Australian artist, who delivers conscious music, art and a brave sense of self-expression in her energetic, sensual and expressive performances and recordings.

Gilli (pronounced as with a "J") is an illustrious poly-media artist, with multifaceted music albums and dynamic live shows that have touched music lovers worldwide garnering high praise from the most jaded of critics. She is a singer-songwriter, recording artist, actor, author, motivational speaker and painter. She is the quintessential renaissance woman, with a ceaseless contribution to the creative and artist communities at large.

Born in Milano, Italy, and raised in Australia, Gilli was brought up in a pioneering lifestyle on an isolated mountain property on the edge of wilderness. Her artistry is inspired by the isolating “Aussie bush" living a self-sufficient, alternative life in a home built by her parents from the trees and stone on their land, solar power and natural resources.

Now living in Los Angeles, CA for the last 10 years, Gilli forged an independent path before anyone knew what "indie" was. Through her own record label, Warrior Girl Music, she took on the music industry on her own terms and successfully produced and released 6 studio music albums to critical acclaim, launched several artists' careers, placed an abundance of songs in film, TV and with other artists, and has performed around the world many times over.

Her albums include "Girl In The Moon" (1998), "temperamental angel" (2001), "Woman" (2003), "extraOrdinary life" (2005)  "Skillz" (2009), the latter dedicated to empowering at-risk youth (released with L.A's celebrity spoken word/hip hop artist J.Walker), and her brand new (6th) album is "the stillness" (2010). This album talks of harmony and peace (personal and world), of passion and prophecies, of harmony and conflict, of assurance and doubt, of love and loss... (the dual meanings of life and existence in this world that we all can't deny.) Ultimately, the new album takes the listener on a journey through Gilli's love stories, life lessons and observations of the world. TheStillness-cdcover

Gilli has worked with prominent artists including Simple Minds, Placido Domingo and Eric Idle (Monty Python); has been featured alongside Aimee Mann in discussing their mutual success in the indie music scene in Music Connection Magazine; and has had music at No. 1 on many internet and traditional radio stations. She is constantly featured in the media, online, and radio with her music and outstanding achievements.

An international songwriting award winner, some of her award credits include Song of the Year by the Benelux International Song & Culture Festival (The Netherlands); Best Popular Song by the Johnny Dennis Light Music Awards (Australian Guild of Screen Composers), Best Solo Artist (twice) at L.A’s Rock City Music Awards; nominated Best Female Singer/Songwriter by the Los Angeles Music Awards; and, honored as “Outstanding Contribution as an Artist” by Hollywood’s Artist For A Better World organization. Her label, Warrior Girl Music, was awarded “Indie Label of the Year 2003” by Philadelphia’s Independent Music Awards. In 2005, her album, extraOrdinary life, was finalist in the United States Independent Music Awards (judges included Melissa Ethridge, Norah Jones and Jonatha Brooke to name a few.)

Her songs have been featured in independent films and television programs worldwide, including Nickelodeon's "South Of Nowhere", the WB’s “Charmed”, the Disney Film "Rip Girls,” CBS' "That's Life" as well as recorded by other artists including Dutch artist, Erikah Karst (Mercury/Universal), produced by David Kershenbaum (Tracy Chapman’s "Fast Car").

As one of Los Angeles sought after female music producers, Gilli has a talent for taking a song from an idea to a fully produced, radio-ready song, and loves to produce full concept albums for artists of any music genre. She also created the compilation series Females On Fire and the Art Of Men, which provide a platform for independent artists to be showcased, and celebrate over 150 female and male artists from around the world.

A perpetual philanthropist, Gilli has created opportunities and avenues for artists worldwide through her non-profit songwriters organization, Songsalive!, her Coaching and Workshops, plus has written two books about artistic entrepreneurial excellence, called "I AM A Professional Artist" and  "Just Get Out There" which are motivational handbooks for up and coming artists.

Her live shows are highly energetic and powerful and she combines music, art, dance and little theatre into her show. Gilli is truly a multi-dimensional experience. Her performance is full of action, her voice a tapestry of emotion and sensuality and her music an expression of pure raw emotion. Moon describes it as an "emotional ride". "It's full of energy," Moon explained. "It's a combination of full-on rock: energy, action, and vibrant. Then it sort-of cuts to a complete silence: quiet ballads where I'm on the piano. Then it peaks again. It's very emotional and dynamic, but with a quirky and ironic sense of humour at the same time."


Never separated from her "art", Gilli has dedicated her entire life to the pursuit of excellence as an artist, in music, visual arts (she's also a painter and often paints onstage with her band) and multimedia. She explores every aspect of the arts, as creator, writer, performer, and making it all come to life, as producer.

Gilli Moon is a unique, evocative and energetic artist and has a perpetual fire in her belly to purge her life stories and quest for truth through her music and art. Where life takes her, can only be exciting and delicious!
