Aaron Hill
Aaron Hill is the original founder of Hilltop^Studios, brining over 13 years of music industry experience to the company. From the time he picked up his first guitar at age 12 to the time of operating his studio by age 19, Aaron was surrounded by music growing up. His passion for music led to the start of Hilltop^Studios when he released his debut album in 2012. He has a total of two singles and three albums officially released.
At Hilltop, Aaron acts as the CFO and COO, and created a powerhouse team with his wife, Teila Hill, and his friend, Tyler Boone. Aaron continues to record and produce music for himself and others. One of his favorite quotes comes from Academy Award winning composer, Hans Zimmer, who said “Music is an experiment…and I love digging in”. His music has been promoted on the radio, and his cover song of “Oceans (Where Feet May Fail)” featuring his wife, Teila, quickly went viral on TikTok, charting in the top 10 of Venezuela’s Christian Billboard charts.
His passion for music leads him to look for new ways to grow as an artist and music producer, enjoying every stage in the process from song writing to release. Finally, Aaron also enjoys action behind the camera, acting as Teila’s assistant for photos and music video direction.
