Iver Hillman “I started playing piano at age 9, guitar at 10, drums at 12, and have been singing since i can remember. While my impulse has always been to learn other artists’ songs, i got a free music composition program in 4th grade and started writing stupid little riffs on the computer. I was inspired to write songs midway through

high school by a guy i met at music camp and had a short-lived friendship with. I wrote my first song in junior year and produced/wrote

two albums with 3 of my best friend…”
