Enraptured by the power of music, Jean’s love for the piano and fascination with composition began at a very young age, however it wasn’t until many years later that she became passionate about expressing herself through her own original content. \nMelding together personal experiences and her love for God, family, friends and nature with immersive song writing, Jean Hilbert put pen to paper and in 1994 began recording and performing her own compositions while also holding down a day job. As the co-founder and pianist for the Christian singing group \"Reflections\" from 2000-2011, Jean Hilbert continued to showcase her talents with the world. \nIn 2014, following a 30-year career in the mortgage banking industry, Jean Hilbert took an early retirement to focus solely on creating and performing her own music. Since then, the artist has curated 9 solo piano albums consisting of mainly original work, but also some arrangements of cover songs, and a rich collection of hymns. \nThe eclectic artist’s discography boasts the soul-stirring album, “Tranquility” which she dropped in 2022, preceded by “Piano at Midnight”; “One Life, One Faith, One Journey”, “Beyond Tomorrow's Dream’, and “Echoes of the Past” among several other highly acclaimed pieces. Jean has also become a certified teacher of piano and continues to perform in the Cedar Valley as well as maintaining an active piano studio. \nAs a talented pianist, composer, and solo piano arranger, Jean Hilbert has had great success with her musical compositions. Jean was the composer for \"Reflections\", and organized, composed, and arranged music for and performed in multiple musicals at St. John Church. The artist also performed in several collaborative benefit concerts and was the recipient of Steinway Top Teacher award in 2019, as well as Finalist in Great American Song Contest in 2009 and 2010.\nClassically trained throughout her formative years and in high school, Jean Hilbert has continued to embrace her 'free-spirited' side that championed liberty and uniqueness, while also staying true to the genre. Painting vivid scenes in musical form through her rich and immersive song writing and arranging, Jean Hilbert plans to record a Christmas album in 2024.\n\nCheck out her website at www.jeanhilbertpiano.com\u003c/p\u003e","musicPath":"/music/Jean+Hilbert","playStationPath":"/stations/281418340/play","stationId":281418340,"bioPath":"/music/Jean+Hilbert/_full_bio","similars":[{"musicPath":"/music/Yiruma","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/66c/66c245cff725300d67930a5f597a4b78_md.jpg","artistName":"Yiruma","artistId":13690,"station_id":113391075},{"musicPath":"/music/Lorie+Line","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/b55/b551a79b33132d260b21b5c62288f85c_md.jpg","artistName":"Lorie Line","artistId":74018,"station_id":265895899},{"musicPath":"/music/Suzanne+Ciani","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/b72/b72052852bbb492619f63fead0613889_md.jpg","artistName":"Suzanne Ciani","artistId":14075,"station_id":113612419},{"musicPath":"/music/Jon+Dahlander","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/c25/c2558df645d0d0712d57d1487dcc3ac0_md.jpg","artistName":"Jon Dahlander","artistId":76382,"station_id":266649764},{"musicPath":"/music/Jim+Brickman","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/086/0865a5d08873be46d9fb1bf5bfe4ba90_md.jpg","artistName":"Jim Brickman","artistId":7428,"station_id":113291622},{"musicPath":"/music/Philip+Wesley","artistDefaultImage":"//artist.radioairplay.com/airplay_pictures/pictures/000/115/391/PhilipWesley-DarkNightoftheSoul_md.jpg","artistName":"Philip Wesley","artistId":67026,"station_id":289073607},{"musicPath":"/music/The+Piano+Guys","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/fbc/fbc2383e2339b7b2bdd481f0af158910_md.jpg","artistName":"The Piano Guys","artistId":138941,"station_id":287828916},{"musicPath":"/music/David+Lanz","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/c57/c57157c1b2f1199838719099fd8fcfe6_md.jpg","artistName":"David Lanz","artistId":14037,"station_id":113396787},{"musicPath":"/music/Doug+Hammer","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/e35/e35fcbfac6ff9ca541db02973cf3c417_md.jpg","artistName":"Doug Hammer","artistId":33202,"station_id":219241881},{"musicPath":"/music/Helen+Jane+Long","artistDefaultImage":"//artist.radioairplay.com/airplay_pictures/pictures/000/098/277/helen_down_md.jpg","artistName":"Helen Jane Long","artistId":60482,"station_id":287659620},{"musicPath":"/music/John+Fluker","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/7ae/7ae73426291c66f500b567e31f3a0116_md.jpg","artistName":"John Fluker","artistId":75414,"station_id":266668701},{"musicPath":"/music/David+Nevue","artistDefaultImage":"//artist.radioairplay.com/airplay_pictures/pictures/000/158/174/DSCN0012_cropped_edit_md.JPG","artistName":"David Nevue","artistId":75348,"station_id":287659617},{"musicPath":"/music/Tim+Neumark","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/391/3914f10026066cc052c893377f3ad6c2_md.jpg","artistName":"Tim Neumark","artistId":107872,"station_id":282140126},{"musicPath":"/music/George+Winston","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/c43/c433c5cc7337140f4f6ed5a59d3db28c_md.jpg","artistName":"George Winston","artistId":2462,"station_id":113380193},{"musicPath":"/music/Michael+Dulin","artistDefaultImage":"//artist.radioairplay.com/airplay_pictures/pictures/000/549/207/8caa8995f6cbf8c6a24b197e39dc880d_md.jpg","artistName":"Michael Dulin","artistId":71412,"station_id":295384908},{"musicPath":"/music/Enya","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/83a/83a6f6c9772707ea9a2910326dd8b6e2_md.jpg","artistName":"Enya","artistId":377,"station_id":113263992},{"musicPath":"/music/Liz+Story","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/ac6/ac67b81974e89e298d788f8507976968_md.jpg","artistName":"Liz Story","artistId":8144,"station_id":113821838},{"musicPath":"/music/Paul+Cardall","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/127/12755a50ceb41b7183e73be2fb4d23d6_md.jpg","artistName":"Paul Cardall","artistId":63021,"station_id":335283558}]}
