HHill has a big heart and has had a passion for making music since she was a young child. Over the years, she has paid her dues by singing backup and cover songs, and has the distinction of continuing to release album after album while living in her home community. Each new solo album, featuring Hill and her guitar, expands her fan base and provides new and exciting opportunities to road trip across Canada and travel internationally to places like Australia, Edinburgh and New York.
Her debut solo album 528 was independently produced and released in 2013, kick-starting her career as a stage musician. Everyone asks, “Why 528?” Her answer is metaphysical: 528Hz is the frequency of love, and it is all about love! Hill is a believer in quantum healing, which teaches that the love frequency is the vibration at which our hearts and spiritual natures connect, bringing awareness of higher potential creating miracles.
Hill’s second album 528 Volume 2M was released in 2017, followed by the single “The Shiner” (2020), which premiered on APTN’s Amplify series. Kicking off 2023, her song “The Conduit” from her most recent album hit the charts, finding its way into the top 25 on the Indigenous Music Countdown, and continues to rise.
The multi-talented Hill took a lead role in the “NDNs on the Airwaves” web comedy series in 2022, and was a performer and contributor for the Truth and Illusion theatre project at Young Peoples Theatre in Toronto, Ontario, April of last year. As though that were not enough, she is involved in youth mentorship, honing young talent at the Song Studio Live in Toronto, and when time permits she can be found using her talents to inspire others as a motivational speaker with her keynote address titled "Honouring Your Bundle."
No matter the platform, it is without a doubt that audiences are drawn to Hill and her positive energy. Writing prolifically and with three albums under her belt already, she is a powerhouse of talent and a true rising Indigenous artist.
