Jill White is a well-respected entrepreneur and music industry veteran. She launched Jill White Presents in 2015 to curate shows for corporate, charitable and private events. Jill and her dedicated team will emcee and produce entire musical experiences, which is where her creativity shines. “I’ve been creating shows with world renowned songwriters and musicians. They love to sing their songs and share the remarkable stories behind their biggest hits. Being present while these masters impact an audience is truly mind-blowing. They share their journey and inspire guests, be it a show, a VIP gathering or team building experience. It does my heart good to see our shows making so many people happy.”

Jill has released four albums as a recording artist and songwriter. Her love of music, songwriting, and the stage inspired her to create Hitmakers: Stories + Songs. “I manifested a business where I work with the songwriters I most revere and connect them with a greater audience,” she adds, “I love what I do.” In 2020, Jill married songwriter and producer Phillip White. Together, they have six children. “We have a common love for music and family and are so proud of our kids.” Jill’s sons, Rocky and Grady Block are carrying on the musical family tradition as songwriters at Big Loud Music Publishing.

Jill began her career as a singer/songwriter in Los Angeles and relocated to Nashville in 1995.  As a partner in the Billy Block Corporation, she spent 25 years alongside her late husband, legendary entertainment icon, Billy Block until his death in 2015. Together, for 18 years, they produced the longest running weekly show second only to the Grand Ole’ Opry. Billy and Jill built a community of songwriters, musicians, and fans from Los Angeles to Nashville and beyond. From live shows, radio, television, and a monthly magazine, the Block’s vigorous support of talent spurred the growth of the Country, Americana and roots music genres.

Jill White is all about the music ~ those that create it and those that enjoy it.
