Jake Hill (musician)

Daniel Jacob Hill was born on April 10, 1992 in Alabama, US. Hill grew up in a small town in Alabama. He began writing rhymes around age 12 and became "super into music" at 13. His interest was sparked after he started skateboarding and was introduced to the band Silverstein. He initially disliked their album When Broken Is Easily Fixed but forced himself to listen to it to "be cool" and eventually "fell in love with it." Hill originally aspired to be a guitarist and play metal, but felt this was not possible in his hometown, where he believed "nobody really understands the music industry." He has stated that his music is inspired by his experiences with anxiety and depression, as well as by video games he grew up playing, such as Bloodborne, The Last of Us, and Dark Souls. == Career ==

Beginnings as iamjakehill Hill began his music career by "rapping as a joke," as he used to make fun of rap music. Hill has also collaborated with artist Josh A. As Hill, he has explored queer themes in several musical genres. In 2023, Hill gained notoriety for his country music alter-ego, Dixon Dallas. The persona went viral on TikTok for the song "Good Lookin'," which features raunchy, explicit lyrics about gay sex, such as "He's bouncing off my booty cheeks, I love the way he rides / I can hardly breathe when he's pumping deep inside." The explicit nature of the songs and Hill's refusal to state his own sexuality led to accusations of gaybaiting and queerbaiting. He has also cited positive feedback as his motivation, stating, "The amount of messages I get from people saying 'I'm a gay man. We don't have this type of music. It makes me feel seen. It makes me feel heard and comfortable in my skin.' Those messages are what makes me want to keep doing this." By 2023, Hill had amassed millions of listeners across platforms. He scheduled a fall 2023 tour co-headlining as both Jake Hill and Dixon Dallas, with stops in Atlanta, Orlando, and Tampa. During a March 2025 performance as Dixon Dallas, he performed covers of his other personas' songs, including "Keep Riding Me" (ur pretty) and "By The Sword" (iamjakehill). == Personal life ==

His other stated passions include video games, particularly Rocket League, his cat, his family, and cars. He owns a GT 350 R. Hill has publicly discussed his mental health, advocating for practices like taking Vitamin D supplements, exercising, and eating better, stating these "huge changes" have significantly improved his mental state. He has not publicly disclosed his sexuality. == Discography ==
