series he helped create -- and named -- in 2008. He’s since produced performances at the Desk by Harry Styles, Chance The Rapper, Alana Springsteen, Steve Martin, and more.</p> <p>Hilton got his first full-time job as a reporter at a member station when he was 19 years old. He went on to win more than two dozen awards for his work, as both a reporter and a newscaster, from The AP, the National Association Of Broadcasters, Public Media Journalists Association (then called PRNDI) and more. He eventually landed at <em>Morning Edition</em>, where he worked as a Production Assistant before starting as the Assistant Producer for <em>All Songs Considered</em> in 2001.</p> <p>Along with Bob Boilen, Hilton helped turn <em>All Songs Considered</em> into one of the most popular and influential music programs in the country, officially becoming the co-host in 2008 and, after Boilen's retirement in 2023, the permanent host.</p> <p>He is also a composer whose music has appeared in films, podcasts and radio, including his arrangement of NPR’s <em>Weekend All Things Considered</em> theme and NPR’s Elections theme.</p> </div> </div>  </article> </div>  <section class="mainBottom"><header class="archive-header"><h2 class="archive-header__hdr">Story Archive</h2> <div class="subnav-tools-wrap"> <div id="tools-wrapper"> <div class="agg-tools"> <ul> <li><a class="newsletter-subscription" href="/newsletter/breaking-news" data-metrics-ga4='{"category":"newsletter","action":"newsletter_lead_click","clickType":"section button","clickName":"breaking-news","clickUrl":"\/newsletter\/breaking-news"}' >Subscribe to Breaking News Alerts</a></li> </ul> </div> </div> </div> </header><section id="archive-core"><div class='archivelist'> <h2 class="date">Tuesday <time datetime='2025-02-18'>February 18, 2025</time></h2> <article class="item has-image has-audio"> <div class="item-image"> <div class="imagewrap has-source-dimensions" data-crop-type="wide" style=" --source-width: 2969; --source-height: 1670; " > <a href="https://www.npr.org/2025/02/18/1232304336/oscars-best-song-best-score"> <picture> <source srcset="https://media.npr.org/assets/img/2025/02/17/gettyimages-2066784834_wide-9514168d498f5342fb8a2482f0d797c59777c542.jpg?s=300&c=85&f=jpeg" data-original="https://media.npr.org/assets/img/2025/02/17/gettyimages-2066784834_wide-9514168d498f5342fb8a2482f0d797c59777c542.jpg?s=300&c=100&f=jpeg" data-template="https://media.npr.org/assets/img/2025/02/17/gettyimages-2066784834_wide-9514168d498f5342fb8a2482f0d797c59777c542.jpg?s={width}&c={quality}&f={format}" data-format="webp" class="respArchListImg lazyOnLoad" type="image/webp" /> <source srcset="https://media.npr.org/assets/img/2025/02/17/gettyimages-2066784834_wide-9514168d498f5342fb8a2482f0d797c59777c542.jpg?s=300&c=85&f=jpeg" data-original="https://media.npr.org/assets/img/2025/02/17/gettyimages-2066784834_wide-9514168d498f5342fb8a2482f0d797c59777c542.jpg?s=300&c=100&f=jpeg" data-template="https://media.npr.org/assets/img/2025/02/17/gettyimages-2066784834_wide-9514168d498f5342fb8a2482f0d797c59777c542.jpg?s={width}&c={quality}&f={format}" data-format="jpeg" class="respArchListImg lazyOnLoad" type="image/jpeg" /> <img src="https://media.npr.org/assets/img/2025/02/17/gettyimages-2066784834_wide-9514168d498f5342fb8a2482f0d797c59777c542.jpg?s=300&c=85&f=jpeg" data-original="https://media.npr.org/assets/img/2025/02/17/gettyimages-2066784834_wide-9514168d498f5342fb8a2482f0d797c59777c542.jpg?s=300&c=100&f=jpeg" data-template="https://media.npr.org/assets/img/2025/02/17/gettyimages-2066784834_wide-9514168d498f5342fb8a2482f0d797c59777c542.jpg?s={width}&c={quality}&f={format}" data-format="jpeg" class="respArchListImg lazyOnLoad" alt="And the Oscar for Original Song goes to..." loading="lazy" /> </picture> </a> </div> <div class="credit-caption"> <div class="caption-wrap"> <div class="caption" aria-label="Image caption"> </div> </div> <span class="credit" aria-label="Image credit"> FREDERIC J.
