He holds a Bachelor of Music degree from the University of British Columbia. Hill has appeared alongside other famous ukulele players at venues such as the Ukulele Festival of Hawaii and the Ukulele Festival of Great Britain, and he provides workshops at various locations as he travels for performances.
Hill has released seven albums so far, with his 2015 album The Old Silo receiving a 2015 nomination for the Juno Award for Roots & Traditional Album of the Year (Solo).
