Bert Hill, a native Californian, spent his early life devoted to music, martial arts and aviation. Bert credits his fantastical childhood experiences to his parents and the generosity of John Lennon. Bert's father (Hill) was Lennon's chauffeur in Los Angeles (1970) and it was Lennon who made it possible for Hill to start his own limousine company. With his father driving LA¹s jet-set of the seventies and his own accomplishments in music and martial arts at such a young age, Bert was exposed to incredible experiences that he considers to be a unique part of his musical foundation.  

In 1977, Bert formed the musical group "Image" and has been performing his original works ever since.

A graduate from Arizona State University (1988) he did further work in Sociology with Professor Michelle Mafesoli at the Sorbonne in Paris. He returned to the U.S. and graduated from The American Academy of Dramatic Arts (1991).

In 1991 Bert founded the musical group St. Surreal (with Preston Clarke). St. Surreal performed Bert's original works and recorded "At Sixes and Sevens". In the ten years St. Surreal was together they received commercial and college radio play, toured nationally, self-produced the film short "Alma Mater" and sold albums at performances, in retail stores and on the internet.

In 1999 Bert began work on his first solo album "Ordinary Time" which was recorded in 2001 and is now available on the Internet.
