Hillary Bonhomme is a Brooklyn-based musician focused on composing, improvising, and performing original music. She credits her parents’ strict house rules for her evolution in music from childhood to now (think restricted TV time and forbidden access to BET, VH1, and MTV, but don’t worry, she snuck some in when they weren’t looking). Without the comfort of passive entertainment, she filled her brain with her imagined sounds and colors. She especially thanks her mother for making her explain the content of songs in great detail before permitting her to download them from iTunes… her earliest lesson in songwriting. 

Her music has been featured in dance theatre works, films, and podcasts. She aims to use music as a 'third space' and social cavern in a divided world. Outside of her work, Hillary has enjoyed collaborating as a performer. In 2025, she is working with the Saint Paul Chapel Choir, part of Trinity Church Wall Street. Earlier this year, she also sang in a workshop of a new song cycle by composer Ellen Reid. In addition to music, Hillary works as a caretaker and assistant preschool teacher.
