William Hill III

William Hill III is a pianist, composer, arranger, and bandleader from Detroit, Michigan. He graduated from the Detroit School of Arts and is pursuing his baccalaureate at the Manhattan School of Music. In 2023, he began performing as a bandleader with his trio across the metro-Detroit area, and his first gig in New York City occurred during his freshman year at the Manhattan School of Music. Hill's music blends traditional bebop and straight-ahead jazz with influences from blues, R&B, gospel, and funk, drawing inspiration from artists such as Oscar Peterson, Thelonious Monk, and Herbie Hancock.
