# Sawyer Hill

> Sawyer Hill is a 24-year-old indie/alternative rock singer-songwriter from Siloam Springs, Arkansas, who spent a decade grinding dive bars before a single Instagram Reel turned 'Look at the Time' into a chart phenomenon. With 50+ million streams, a Billboard feature, a signing to (dis)harmony/AWAL, and a debut EP 'Heartbreak Hysteria' released in 2025, Hill is the rare viral story that actually has the chops to back it up - a deep baritone voice drawing comparisons to Eddie Vedder, Nick Cave, and Johnny Cash, wrapped in Southern alt-rock built for arenas.
