Heather Hill
Toronto
Late one night on a business trip in London, England, an unmistakable voice told Heather she needed to quit her successful high-tech marketing career and pursue her gift. Heather left her job, sold everything, went backpacking and the songs poured out. She fell in love, had babies, wrote songs, made two albums, created a songwriting guild, and now she wants to bring change and spread positivity to anyone who will listen
Rooted in piano rock, Heather Hill is currently working on her third release. She launched her second album Leuty Station in May 2012, which features a collection of songs about women’s issues and the courage to face life challenges head on. She quickly followed the success of the launch with a Canadian tour, TV and radio play. Her first album “Listen” was released in NYC in 2005 with Steve Addabbo who produced Suzanne Vega and Shawn Colvin. Her voice is often compared to Kate Bush and the Wilson sisters, while her songwriting draws comparisons to Tori Amos and a young Leonard Cohen.
Heather has opened for Greig Nori and Bill Priddle (Treble Charger) and shared the stage with Lawrence Gowan, and Rik Emmet (Triumph). She is currently working with Jan Cooper Publishing in Vancouver and just received a FACTOR grant for her upcoming single “Stupid Happy”. She co-wrote a song on Chris Antonik’s upcoming sophmore blues album called “I’ll Help You Through” currently playing on national radio. Her song “Just Her Ideal” was in a successful off-broadway show in NYC and compilation CD. Her song “Find Your Way” is currently being used on a positive music compilation and in a women’s community called “Silver and Grace.”
