Lilian Jalali is a guitarist, songwriter, writer, and part of Eagle Media. Even though she’s just a freshman in high school, she’s already making a name for herself with her love for music. With her guitar in hand and lyrics always on her mind, Lilian uses songwriting as a way to express who she is. To her, music isn’t just something fun to do it’s a big part of her life. She’s been around music ever since she was a kid. Whether she’s strumming her guitar in her room or making beats in her grandfather’s studio, she’s always coming up with something new. Writing isn’t just a hobby for her either it’s something she truly loves.
“I’ve always had love for music, it was just a special connection from since I was younger. Growing up, my grandfather had his little own a studio, I would go in there to play with his drums and make music with him,” said Jalali. “I feel like over time, my love grew for music because I saw how special and how deep the meanings of songs could be.”
Now that she’s part of Eagle Media, Lilian has the chance to share her creativity with more people at her school. Even though she’s known for her music, she also loves to write stories and articles. Eagle Media gives her a place to explore her writing and be part of a group that really cares about expressing themselves and telling important stories. She’s not just learning how to tell her own story, but how to share other people’s stories too. For Lilian, this club helps her grow not just as a writer, but as a person.
“I realized that I want be apart of more communities, have more friends, and get out of my comfort zone. So that feeling just made me put myself out there, then it was also just seeing everyone around me have a community, a group, and it just really made me want to go out and find my place,” said Jalali.
Even though she’s just starting out, Lilian is already showing that she’s serious about chasing her goals. Whether it’s writing a song that means a lot to her or putting together a strong article, she always gives her best. Stepping out of her comfort zone has helped her grow in a big way—both personally and as an artist. Looking ahead, she’s hoping to have a future in the entertainment world.
“I would love to do something in the film industry, maybe even the music industry. Whether it producing music or even films, just something in the art and entertainment industry.”
As she moves through high school, Lilian wants to keep working on her music and writing skills. Being a part of Eagle Media and continuing her creative journey gives her the chance to express herself more and more. She’s still learning and growing, but her goal is to end up in the entertainment industry whether it’s through film, music, or both. No matter what path she takes, she’s excited to keep creating and sharing her voice with the world.
“Don’t be shy, put yourself out there and just don’t be afraid to make new friends, or to find people. Because they’re waiting for you.”
