mthree: martin music management has inked a deal with producer/programmer John Hiler, who'll be managed by Jeff Betten alongside previously announced producers Adam Clark and Zak Jablow. Hiler's studio credits include Rihanna, Madonna, Smashing Pumpkins, Stephen Stills and Liz Phair.

"My vision of the burgeoning mthree producer roster is that of a boutique collective of experienced, driven and curious professionals who not only inspire their recording artist clients and production partners, but also ignite the mthree team in that process," mthree founder R. Wayne Martin said. "John Hiler is exactly that creative professional, and I could not be happier to announce his signing.”

A native New Yorker, Hiler has worked as a music producer, mixer, arranger, engineer, programmer, composer and writer. After attending school at Wheaton Conservatory outside of Chicago, he relocated to L.A., where he was a staff engineer at Hit City West recording studio. In his spare time, he plays classical piano, guitar and bass. We, on the other hand, have barely mastered the kazoo.
