The Willis Clan

The Willis Clan is a family band consisting of siblings, Jeremiah Willis, Jennifer McDowell, Jeanette Piatt, Jackson Willis, Jedidiah Willis and Jasmine Willis.



The family originates from Nashville, Tennessee and appeared on the 9th season of America's Got Talent with the rest of their large family. The group made it all the way to the quarter finals before being eliminated.

The family became a huge success with viewers in America and was offered their own TV show on TLC called The Willis Family. The show ran for two seasons, with a total of 13 episodes. The show was cancelled when the family patriarch Toby Willis was arrested and accused of child rape in 2016.

In early 2018, the six eldest children besides Jessica Fisher surfaced to speak out about the abuse.

On July 25, 2018, the group announced that they would "see our younger siblings on their respective roads to recovery out of the spotlight," while the other siblings besides Jessica would be touring, beginning September 7.

They announced the same day that they would be releasing the single "Speak My Mind" on August 10 as a promotion for their upcoming release of the same name, to be released on September 28, 2018.
