Born in Aberdeen, Scotland, she came to London to study with Frederick King at the Royal Academy of Music. Her first important engagement was as a supporting artist to Emma Albani on one of the diva's, as it seemed, endless tours in search of solvency after the ravages her fortune sustained as a result of the financial adventures of her husband. Hill ventured on stage only once, in Beecham's season of opera-comique at His Majesty's Theatre in 1910, as the Dewman in Hansel and Gretel with Maggie Teye and Ruth Vincent. Thereafter she was busy with various activities; as a soloist in oratorio and choral works, with Lieder recitals and ballad concerts at venues such as the Queen's Hall, London.
