Tillman first made a name for himself playing drums in a pair of indie rock bands, Saxon Shore and Stately, while attending college in New York City.

Since 2004, J. Tillman has quietly been releasing records that have been, for the most part, unheard - some were of limited quantity, some were mostly available in Europe.
