Musical Legacy, Shaped by Giants
A dedicated fan of Michael Jackson, Stevie Wonder, Jay-Z, and Pharrell, Eric Hall’s music takes these influences and transforms them into a unique style that embodies his love for “ear candy” and innovative musical arrangements. “If Stevie Wonder, Pharrell, Michael Jackson and Teddy Riley had a baby, you’d get my music,” Hall quips, hinting at his distinct sound.

Reshaping the Feel of Music with Positivity
Hall’s goal is to reintroduce a positive vibe to the music scene, steering away from the negativity that often pervades the industry. While he acknowledges the influence of hip hop on his music, he ensures its representation in a manner that stays true to his roots in New Jersey, home of renowned hip hop artists.
Throughout the challenges of adapting to ever-changing platforms and understanding the complexities of the music business, Eric’s passion for his craft remains unwavering. He believes in the power of consistency, allowing room for growth and evolution.
The Making of “Yearning For Your Love” and Future Aspirations
Hall’s recent work, a cover of “Yearning For Your Love” by the Gap Band, blends elements of hip hop and RnB. Inspired by Q-Tip’s use of Kool and the Gang’s sample, Hall saw an opportunity to reinterpret a classic song for a new generation.
As music continues to be a significant part of his life, Hall aspires to keep releasing quality art, touring as an artist, and potentially exploring the realm of film scoring. After having the honor of producing the NBA on ESPN’s new theme song, there’s no limit to where Eric’s music will take him next.
