Ian Hill

Ian Frank Hill (born January 20, 1951) is a founding member and bass player for Birmingham heavy rock band Judas Priest. Hill learned how to play the double bass from his father, a bass player for local jazz acts. In 1969, together with schoolmate K.K. Downing Hill went off to form pioneering heavy metal band Judas Priest. He has been playing bass for the band ever since and has witnessed the band achieve platinum-covered status around the world. Hill is known for his solid and melodic bass playing which proved to be the ideal background for the dual guitars of K.K. Downing and Glenn Tipton and Rob Halford's operatic vocals. He was born in West Bromwich.
