Trevor Hall

Trevor Hall (born November 28, 1986) is an American singer-songwriter and guitarist. His music is a fusion of roots, folk, and reggae. Many of Hall's themes revolve around spirituality and life exploration. Early life and education Hall was born in Greenwich, Connecticut, and grew up in Hilton Head Island, South Carolina. He grew up surrounded by music due in part to his father who was a drummer and musician. After dabbling with multiple instruments including trombone and bass, he decided to learn guitar in hopes of becoming a singer-songwriter one day. At age 16 he recorded his first album. Shortly after, Hall left South Carolina for California where he studied classical guitar at musical boarding high school Idyllwild Arts Academy in the San Jacinto Mountains. During his time, he was introduced to yoga and meditation practices and spirituality, which made a major impact on him and has since influenced his life and music. Hall's friend Sam introduced him to the teachings of Neem Karoli Baba and Ram Dass, and the devotional music of Krishna Das. Hall has stated that one of the most important weekends of his life was when he went to the Laguna Beach Kali Temple for a weekend while at Idyllwild. At the temple, he learned about the Hindu goddess Kali and was happily surprised to find out people worship God as a woman.
