One of the foremost ukulele players and teachers of his generation, Hill "gives the ukulele its dignity back without ever taking himself too seriously" (Songlines). While his early recordings established him as “one of the world’s top composers for the ukulele” (Rafe Mair, 600AM Vancouver) and a “rare peer” of Hawaii's premier ukulelists (John Berger, Honolulu Star-Bulletin), his more recent albums have “stamped him as a singer-songwriter and all-round musician of the highest calibre” (Rhythms Magazine).

In 2019, James amalgamated his diverse education initiatives with the launch of www.uketropolis.com which spurred the creation of several popular courses including the free "Peace Like An 'Ukulele," the $1 beginner course "Ready, Steady, Ukulele" and the acclaimed "Ukulele Jazz." James is also the host of the Uketropolis Podcast which can be heard weekly on all podcast listening platforms.
