You might find it funny that the CEO of LVLRN is its one artist outside the hip-hop genre, but Hillary cultivated a true love and knowledge for hip-hop through Stephen Crocker. Together, Hillary and Stephen took LVLRN records from a passionate idea and turned it into a real Llc. It is as if Crocker and Hillary are still running this label together, though we lost Stephen in December 2014. Hillary’s strength and balance of character has led her to attempt to heal herself and all of us by making sense of Stephen’s life and death by carrying on his legacy with VP, sister, and best friend, Lindsay Keane. Each step is taken with the simple question in mind, “what would Crocker want...how would he feel about this…” Crocker’s love for each artist has soaked into Hillary’s soul and pours out of her heart on a daily basis.  She has taken on his passion and desire to see true artistry succeed and flourish. She is both a leader and trailblazer for our team, often connecting her rock audience with various hip-hop artists and songs from the label.
