Judith Hill
Biography
Judith Hill is a Los Angeles singer and songwriter who has sung backup for Michael Jackson, Prince, and Josh Groban. After studying music composition at Biola University, she performed in France with Michel Polnareff in 2007 and then returned to the U.S. to focus on her own songwriting. In 2009 she was chosen to sing duets with Jackson during preparations for This Is It (2009), and at his memorial service she led Heal the World, drawing worldwide notice. The documentary 20 Feet from Stardom (2013) chronicled her rise, and she won a Grammy for Best Music Film and a Black Reel Award for the song Desperation. She competed on The Voice in 2013, opened tours for Groban in 2013 and John Legend in 2014, and released the Prince-produced debut album Back in Time in 2015.
