The Hilltopps

Hilltopps Productions

Hilltopps Productions is a conglomeration of musicians and composers who had been forced to re-think the nature of musical collaboration, due to the pandemic. With the help of digital audio software and the internet, this collection of highly regarded artists, and educators, has been able to collaborate safely and effectively in a virtual setting, while maintaining the quality of an in person session.

Harold Todd and Jai Vatuk met long ago and played together in the Reggae band Common Sense and have gone on to work in the music business at a high level.

Harold Has played woodwinds with Lenny Kravitz for 20 years.

Jai put aside his career as a full time Musician, and has worked behind the scenes as Audio Engineer and Tour and Production manager for Tyler Childers, Michael Franti, Trevor Hall, David Lindley and more.

They Both have continued to Produce and Engineer music for other acts collectively and individually.

Worldwide Virtual Collaboration

One silver lining to this new method of collaborating is that we can work with musicians from all over the world from remote locations. This allows us to conceive compose produce and perform music across a wide and eclectic range of genres and styles. From Country to Classical to Hip Hop, Rock and Jazz .

We can be mobilized together as a group or individually. We are all experienced and equipped to record and collaborate with you.

During difficult times the human spirit still find ways to get together! That is our goal. Come Join us online!

Best wishes
