Biography

Hila J. Whyte grew up in St. Joseph, Missouri in a musical family. Because her mother played five instruments and sang, Hila decided to sing and learn to play the alto and tenor saxophones. She sang in all of Lafayette High School's talent shows from her freshman year to her senior year. Hila played the saxophone in the school's concert band, marching band and pep band at the games and special assemblies. At 12 years old, she joined the choir of Ebenezer A. M. E. Church and has been singing ever since.

After her family moved to San Diego, California, she sang in various college talents contests and eventually joined her brother's gospel group, the Patrick Whyte Singers of San Diego, California. She sang with Patrick's group for several years while serving as Minister of Music at Antioch C.O.G I.C. and then at Christian Compassion Center, both of San Diego. She is also a soloist on "The Compassion Hour" for her church, Christian Compassion Center, which airs on Cox Communication Channel 23 on Sunday mornings at 9:30.

She has written two Christian musical plays entitled, "He Took My Place" and "I See My Son". Both include original songs. Twelve of the seventeen songs in "I See My Son", which is yet to be produced, were written by Hila.

Hila is the owner of Reflections Of Real Life which promotes creativity, originality, precision and excellence in music, art and writing. She is the Executive Producer of her latest project, a contemporary gospel CD entitled, "Into The Light". The 10 song CD includes 9 original songs, 7 of which were written by Ms. Whyte. Her successful CD release was March 5, 2005.

In the future, Hila plans to write and produce not only more CD's, but also produce her gospel musical play entitled, "I See My Son". Hila is a multi-talented singer/songwriter/playwright who enjoys the challenge of being unique and creative.
