Jillian Rose Banks, known professionally as BANKS, is an American singer, songwriter, and poet hailing from Orange County, California. Born on June 16, 1988, BANKS swiftly established herself in the music world with her dark, expressive take on alternative R&B and electronica. Her sound is characterized by its atmospheric production and introspective lyrics, often exploring themes of empowerment, vulnerability, and the complexities of human emotions.

BANKS first captured the attention of the online music community with her debut EP "Fall Over," which was followed by the critically acclaimed "London" EP in 2013. Her full-length debut album, "Goddess," arrived in 2014 and showcased her brooding vocal style, securing her a dedicated fan base and solidifying her presence in the alternative pop landscape. BANKS' music has continued to evolve through subsequent releases, such as "The Altar" in 2016 and "III" in 2019. Her work features a consistent evolution in sound and storytelling, exemplified by emotionally charged songs like "Gemini Feed" and "Underdog." Through her most recent releases, including singles like "Serpentina" and "The Devil," and the intimate performances of earlier tracks in her "Live And Stripped" sessions, BANKS continues to captivate listeners with her enigmatic persona and compelling artistry.
