Hillary Watson is a singer-songwriter and multi-disciplinary creative with a sound that defies easy categorization. Classically trained and endlessly curious, she draws on a rich tapestry of influences—from folk and rock to musical theatre—to craft music that is rhythmically driven, emotionally resonant, and refreshingly original.

A member of the London-based harmony trio The Pairs, Hillary’s solo work carves out its own distinct path, blending sharp lyrical insight with a raw, percussive edge. Her songs explore the complexities of human experience with honesty and nuance, offering listeners a soundscape that is both familiar and strikingly new.

Hillary Watson performs solo (singer-songwriter/alt-folk), as “Billy and The Hitches” (alt folk/rock trio), or as 1 of 3 members of Internationally touring and award-winning group, The Pairs (three-part harmony/folk).

Who's Hillary?

Debut single, “Knowing Better”, was released October 10th, 2025.

“Knowing Better” is a confession — the ache of recognizing your own patterns, the laundry piles of your habits, the whispers of self-help books you keep ignoring. It’s messy, honest, and a reflection of the gap between intention and action.

Produced and Engineered by Addison Johnson
