Jeffrey “JJ” James Hill

Jeffrey James Hill (also known as J.J.) grew up in Pilot Rock and currently resides in Pendleton, Oregon. He graduated from Eastern Oregon University in 2009 with a degree in Theater Performance. In college and after, JJ did stand-up comedy, performed music, and improv in a number of different cities including Portland and New York. After JJ returned to Eastern Oregon in 2013, he worked as the recruitment coordinator for a local community college, where he wrote and voiced an award winning radio ad series. 

Since then, JJ’s interests and projects have grown even wider. His ongoing film project, “Out of Character” began as an idea for a script in 2019 and was filmed the Summer of 2020. Post-production continues and the movie has an anticipated release set for the Fall of 2024.

In 2022 JJ made a musical appearance as a contestant on Season 22 Episode 1 of NBC’s the Voice. After returning home from filming, work began on turning his woodworking/wand making hobby into the fully fledged business that is Wand Culture, LLC.

2023 has been spent touring wands around Oregon and Washington selling at events like the Oregon Renaissance Faire and comic cons. All the while work has continued on finishing his film, dabbling in musical pursuits, expanding his creative business, and venturing into future podcasting projects.
