Interview with SongWriter “Hillary Reese”
From the heart of Mississippi, Hillary Reese has a sound of her own and everyone seems to love her country flair. Hillary reached over 30,000 followers on Facebook at 10 years old, right before she turned 11. Hillary was discovered on Facebook after putting two videos up and both videos received over one million views. It was not long after this that Hillary was hitting the studio in Franklin, Tennessee. She has a gift of delivering a song in a way to keep the attention of those listening, which causes her to be rewarded with a fast-growing, loyal fan base. Hillary is now 13 years old and she has been in the recording studio the past year, writing and recording her own original songs in Nashville with Kent Wells, who has been Dolly Parton’s producer of 28 years. She had done all of her vocals at the Dark Horse Recording studio which has clients such as: Taylor Swift, Kieth Urban, Hunter Hayes, Carrie Underwood, Faith Hill, Tim McGraw, Alison Krauss, Martina McBride, and way to many more to mention. She co-wrote all of her songs. She has co-written with Liz Anne Hill, Tamara Stewart, Jayce Hein, and Bridgette Tatum, just to name a few. All of these writers are very prominent in the Nashville community. For example, Bridgette Tatum Wrote the song, “She’s Country,” sang by Jason Aldean. While many artists take years to develop, her path has been fast-tracked to this point and in addition to recording in the renowned Dark Horse Recording Studio, her early live performances include features at The Roxy Theatre (Hollywood) and The Hard Rock Cafe and she has been served as an ambassador for SOS4Life, (#StandupOwnupSpeakup), since early 2020.
She is a triple threat, (singer/songwriter/musician), southern-belle with an edge and delights in entertaining and using her music to make her audience experience a personal emotion that is liberating and relevant to their lives. Hillary’s sound and lyrics pay homage to the icons of the past, connecting with the fans of the prior generations while simultaneously appealing to today’s younger generation with a more new-school edgy sound. Her music emphasizes fun, fury, and tradition all-in-one and reflects the impact and influence that artists from multiple genres have left on Hillary.
No one knows what the future holds, but it looks like Hillary’s future is going to be very bright. This is one statement that Hillary Reese lives by and says, “if you put God first, then everything else always seems to fall in place and work out.”
