Allison Don Hills (born December 11, 1992) is an American indie-pop musician and former YouTuber from Los Angeles, California. She first gained fame in 2012 after uploading her song "For You," a joking love confession to fellow YouTuber Rose Ellen Dix. Since then, she has released several singles including "Not Now," "Woah," and "Space," as well as multiple covers in her own personal style. She has collaborated with Danny Padilla and Jonny Glenn.
Besides music, she is also known for her LGBT-related content, relating to her experiences as a lesbian. In 2015, she wrote and released "The Coming Out Song," designed for LGBT people to send to their friends and family to come out of the closet. Much of her vlogging content is related to her dating life and relationships, her journey to coming out herself, or her personal struggles with anxiety and OCD. She has also branched out into various other genres, like film reviews, "challenge" vlogs, and cooking/drink mixing videos. Not to be confused with Alecia (Ali) Hillis who voiced Liara T’Soni and Lightning.

Tropes present in Ally Hills' work

- "I Am Great!" Song: "Woah":"I look so good I think I wanna kiss myself!"
