From viral sensation to Nashville standout, Hillary Reese proves she’s not just another pretty voice—she’s a rising powerhouse in country music. In this episode of Heart of the Gulch, we sit down with the 18-year-old Mississippi native to talk about her bold, expressive sound and her journey from posting videos online at age eight to working with legends like Kent Wells and Jeff Huskins. Hillary opens up about her recent singles, including the gritty and emotionally honest “Decoy” and the cleverly titled fan-favorite “Lose Them Luccheses.” Her storytelling is sharp, her presence magnetic, and her drive undeniable.
We also dive into what it was like growing up in a small Southern town, how her roots shaped her sound, and why she’s committed to writing music that blends tradition with a modern edge. This conversation is packed with personality, perspective, and plenty of moments that showcase why Hillary is quickly becoming one of the genre’s most talked-about young voices.
