Abstract:

Musician, composer, studio owner, and engineer, Durham native Willie Hill has been creating music since his early teens. His music is strongly melodic, rhythmically intricate, and atmospheric. He took up the guitar when he was twelve years old and got his first gig when he was fifteen. At nineteen he was playing with The Communicators. He wrote “One Chance,” which was a hit single for the group in 1974 and later started his own record label, Joy Records, in 1984. Hill discusses his life and his music.
