He began playing piano at age five, and graduated from the Jazz Conservatory of the State University of New York at Purchase in 2004[1] with a Bachelor of Arts, cum laude.
In The New York Times, Nate Chinen described Live at Smalls as a fine album and characterized Hill as "a painterly young pianist with a chamber-like approach to composition".
[2] His sophomore effort Promethean (Posi-Tone Records) was released in May 2017 featuring sidemen Yashushi Nakamura on bass and Mark Whitfield, Jr. on drums.
It received a 4+1⁄2-star rating from DownBeat[4] a four star review from All About Jazz[5] which noted Hill's "steady, determined ascent into the contemporary ranks of vital and inspired jazz pianists", and the July 2018 issue of The New York City Jazz Record observed that "[t]here’s not a weak spot on the record", complimented Royston and Carter as a "phenomenal" rhythm section, and noted that Rashaan Carter is "a real under-the-radar master".
He frequently appears with the Mingus Big Band, Frank Lacy, Bill Saxton, Josh Evans, and T. S. Monk.
