James Hill, Ukulele Extraordinaire
Three thousand miles east of Honolulu is the town of Langley, British Columbia, where ukulele instruction has been mandatory in many schools since the late 1970s. To James Hills fourth grade classmates, the ukulele was a means to an end, a way for them to dip their toes into the vast ocean of music. But for James, the uke was a sea of possibilities unto itself and inside its tiny wooden shell he saw his life in music. He was hooked.

During his teenage years James honed his skills as a key member of the renowned Langley Ukulele Ensemble.  In a full-circle plot twist, James  also a passionate teacher  went on to co-author the Ukulele in the Classroom method book series with J. Chalmers Doane, the trail-blazing teacher who pioneered the use of ukuleles in Canadian schools.  In 2010, James and his father Barry, a retired school teacher, launched the JHUI Teacher Certification Program, the first of its kind in the world.  His most ambitious educational offering to date is Uketropolis.com, home to unique ukulele courses like Ukulele Jazz, UkuleleX, The Ukulele Way, Booster Uke and the JHUI Teacher Certification Program.

James Hill has come a long way from that fateful day in fouth-grade music class.  A seasoned performer with a fan base in North America, Asia and Europe, he has garnered wide acclaim for his ground-breaking approach to a chronically-underestimated instrument.  Over the course of his first three genre-defying albums  Playing it like it isnt... (2002), On the Other Hand (2003) and A Flying Leap (2006)  he re-wrote every rule that had previously kept the ukulele in the realm of novelty and obscurity. Then came the Canadian-Folk-Music-Award-winning True Love Dont Weep (2009), his collaboration with cellist/singer Anne Janelle Davison, an album that pushed the budding singer/songwriter into new territory, topped folk radio charts in North America and opened doors to festival stages across the continent.
