Trevor Hall

Trevor Hall born on November 28, 1986 is originally from Hilton Head, South Carolina, where he resided until he was 16 years old. His parents, Jeff and Wendy, still reside in South Carolina. He has a younger sister named Chloe. He began writing and performing when he was around 11 years old, around the same time he got his first guitar. His introduction to music was from his father’s drum kit and the harmonica his father gave him at the age of 11. His father was not only a drummer but a musician who inspired his son to write and love music as he did. Trevor claims to have always been surrounded and absorbed by music. It was on his 15th or 16th birthday when his father gifted him a recording session in his friend’s studio. It was then that he recorded his first album, which was sold mostly to family and friends. After that, Trevor and his family began taking his music more seriously. At the age of 16, Trevor moved to California to attend Idyllwild Arts Academy, in the San Jacinto Mountains east of Los Angeles. He attended this school from grades 10 through 12. While a student at IAA, he studied classical guitar, and met people from all around the world who influenced his life in a profound way.
During his senior year, Trevor signed a record deal with Geffen Records. He continued to focus on his music after graduation, moving to Los Angeles and working with such producers as John Alagia and the Laboriel Brothers. Other than an EP, none of the records that Trevor recorded were released. Geffen dropped him from the label in 2008.
Immediately after his departure from Geffen, Trevor began to write more music. He soon had 14 new songs under his belt along with his good friend/percussionist Chris Steele. They released their new album, «This is Blue» in 2008. Over the years, Trevor Hall has toured with many artists including: Jimmy Cliff, Steel Pulse, The Wailers, Matisyahu, Stevie Nicks, Ben Harper, Colbie Caillat, Los Lobos, Ziggy Marley, Rusted Root, and many others. He cites Bob Dylan, Bob Marley, Ben Harper and Björk as his main influences.
Trevor has found his inspiration through meditation and his trips to India. He has helped out an Indian school there with donations from his shows. He is also a committed vegetarian.
