Scotty Hills
Scotty Hills is a Juno nominated singer/songwriter and drummer with multiple WCMA wins, as well as a Polaris Prize short lister. Scotty has worked as a topline writer and vocalist for RocNation/Anthem, writing and singing on demos for pop artists, including Rihanna, Paul Oakenfold, and Hailey Reinhart. He spent over a decade touring with acts like Juno Nominated blues/rock trio The Perpetrators, and other Canadian Rn'B institutions as a drummer and vocalist.
At age 4 Scotty would tag along to his mother's radio jingle recording sessions, and soon was in regular rotation as a child voice artist. Originally from Saskatchewan, he began writing songs with his dad at age 6. After many high school punk/alternative bands, Scotty was hit hard by the soulful Chicago blues of Little Walter and Howlin' Wolf and became fascinated with the nuances of great rhythm sections. For ten years he toured the U.S. and Europe as a singing drummer before starting a solo career.
Since then he has continued his passion studying education and music, which earned him a jazz degree in vocal performance. That summer he embarked on a 10,000 mile roundtrip to Nashville, TN to live the van life and write songs, returning to the west coast just prior to the first shutdowns in March of 2020. For the next 2 years he continued to write, produce, and deep dive into post production techniques.
Scotty moved to Vancouver in 2022 and has since completed his 10,000 hours in the disciplines of voice craft, songwriting and production respectively. He is set to release his 4th full length album and a unique vocal masterclass for 2025. Stayed tuned!
