Dre Hilton, born DeAndre Hilton, is a dynamic musician and performer hailing from Saint Louis, Missouri. Dre’s journey in music began in the heart of his community—his father’s church. Growing up in a musical family, he was immersed in the rhythms and harmonies of gospel music from an early age. It was here that he first picked up the drums and keyboard, laying the foundation for his self-taught musicianship.  By age 12, Dre would be composing, writing, and recording his own music. While Dre is largely self-taught, he credits his high school music teacher for imparting valuable lessons that helped shape his musical path 

 Influenced by legendary artists such as Stevie Wonder, James Brown, Fred Hammond, and Pharrell Williams, Dre’s sound is a rich blend of classic R&B and gospel, infused with the energy and groove of soul music. His performances are known for their authenticity and emotional depth, reflecting the powerful messages he seeks to convey through his art. Dre’s music is driven by a core belief: anyone can achieve their dreams, no matter where they start. He encourages listeners to build their aspirations “brick by brick,” inspiring hope and perseverance.

 Dre’s creative process is rooted in melody and rhythm. He typically begins with a compelling melody and a strong drumbeat, using these elements as the foundation for his compositions. This approach has led to the creation of music that resonates with audiences of all ages and backgrounds.

Dre’s trajectory and word of mouth, five-star show reviews prompted the agency A&R to fly to St. Louis to see Dre perform in person.
