Loeillet was born at Ghent, then in the Spanish Netherlands. In 1705, after his
studies in Ghent and Paris, he moved to London and became known as John. In London,
his last name was sometimes rendered as 'Lully' or 'Lullie': he was unrelated to
the Jean-Baptiste Lully, the Italian-born French composer. His works were published
by John Walsh in London under the name of John Loeillet.
