Born and raised in Toronto, Canada, Warren Hill began his music career at age seven. He studied guitar and his early influences came from classic rock such as Led Zeppelin, Rush, The Who and the Rolling Stones. At age 12 he started to play saxophone and it became the focal point of his life while studying jazz at the Eastman School of Music. There his musical life changed forever and he retired his childhood dreams of becoming a rock star, strapped a saxophone around his neck -- and it's been there ever since.

Hill followed his heart and enrolled at the renowned Berklee College of Music in Boston learning the intricacies of the saxophone. He confirmed that music was his true calling! Following his graduation performance, Hill was approached to play on Chaka Khan's record Baby Me, with other artists Stevie Wonder, Prince, Miles Davis and Dave Grusin. The opportunity was a dream come true for a young musician straight out of college.

Hill moved to Los Angeles in 1989 and within six months Atlantic Records signed him to a record deal. His first CD Kiss Under The Moon was released in 1991. Since then he has released nine CD's that have sold a combined total of over one million copies worldwide. A saxophonist, vocalist and talented composer, Hill has remained one of the most consistently popular contemporary jazz artists in his field.

After the release of his first CD in 1991, he was by Natalie Cole as the opening act on her 40-city "Unforgettable Tour." Since then he has released nine CDs with numerous #1 hits on the Billboard Contemporary Jazz and R&R Smooth Jazz/NAC charts, as well as being recognized by a diverse list of awards, including Berklee College's Distinguished Alumnus, 1995 NAC songwriter of the year from SESAC, 2002 Juno Nomination for Contemporary Jazz Album, 2003 Canadian Smooth Jazz Artist of the year and 2005 Canadian Wind Instrumentalist of the year.
