In 1999, Hill spent a year through Europe and the United States playing in clubs and bars. He came back to Australia in 2000 and played wherever he could, then he was spotted by Sony Music's Murmur Record's label. Hill then went to the UK to record his debut album Waterline and worked with producer Ian Grimble.
