In 2007, Chad Hillard launched Hillydilly with one idea: find the best new music before anyone else.
Over 13 years, the blog discovered Billie Eilish, Lorde, Halsey, LANY, Dominic Fike, and Daniel Caesar — before they were household names.
Hillydilly closed in May 2020. In 2022, Chad brought it back under a new name. Same ear. Same obsession. A new chapter.
19 years of music discovery. 2027 will be 20.
