Jason Hilton was born to a military couple in 1985. In the town of Leominister, Mass. Shortly after his birth, the family moved back to Orange County. He spent many years living between Orange County and Beverly Hills.Jason got into the entertainment industry when he was in high school. He started out with plays and the worked his way up to commercials. Jason loved the industry from the start but never felt comfortable enough to be in front of the camera. He also loved fashion. There were many days where he would sketch ideas of garments that came to his mind. While he loved the idea of fashion designing, he didn't have an artistic sense to sketch that well. He decided to pursue the world of styling. He started to work with people that he knew from Beverly Hills, a few celebrities and some wealthy women. People would notice how amazingly well people were put together at events and shows and his name started to fly around.Because of his discomfort in front of the camera, he never really wanted people to know publicly, who he was. Because of this he remained one of Hollywood's best kept secrets. After a while he started to feel less and less like he was doing something he loved and the passion left. He moved away to rural Tennessee. He had family in a small town, where he could get away and just reconnect with himself. While he loved the small town and was enjoying the time there, he was missing Hollywood.Jason returned back to Hollywood and decided to go back into the entertainment industry, but on the side of dealing with people, he started working as a talent scout for Wild Models Talent Agency. He loved what he was doing but there were so many hurdles that he had to over come because of the issues that WMTA had in the past. He decided to re-brand and restructure the agency, with permission from the owner, to make it more appealing to talent and make it a powerhouse of an agency. After 1 year as a scout, restructuring the agency, and getting a client list of 500 talent that was at 79% booking monthly, they promoted him to being a Commercial and Print Agent. He loved working as an agent and it was something that kept his passion for entertainment moving.During his years as an agent, he explored the side of Casting. Gaining more knowledge of the way movies are cast gave him more insight into how he would select his talent for representation. He worked on many movies, casting and submitting his talent. He loved his job but was over the way of life in Los Angeles. He wanted out. Yet with his job in entertainment he needed to make sure that he was able to still work if he moved. He looked over many places and found that he wanted out of the country. Jason researched and found a small beach town of Playas de Rosarito in Baja California. Jason was instantly attracted to the town. Rosarito had its own bit of entertainment history as it was the filming location for Titanic. Jason fell in love with the town and with the way the industry was moving and how virtual he could make his job, he moved. Not long after, the owner of WMTA followed and they began operating out of Baja, keeping everything virtual as to be able to enjoy work and life at the same time.Jason spent 6 years at WMTA and. Jason left due to a falling out with the owner and decided to go his own way. He opened up LA Agencia and The Hilton Firm.Jason built up La Agencia and was rapidly becoming a bigger name in the states as well. Jason opened up branches of La Agencia in the US as a talent management company in Los Angeles and with his friend Julio for Chicago. He restructured The Hilton Firm to be a PR Firm and after that restructuring if took off as was just as wildly popular.Today The Hilton Firm is a PR Company representing those in entertainment from actors to brands. La Agencia Modelos grew large and became more then just a talent agency. They now have there core agency, Casting division, publicity division, behind the lens division ( makeup artists, hair stylists and more), Product placement division and a school that teaches makeup and production.
