Background and early life
Trevor Hall grew up in Hilton Head Island, South Carolina. Hall grew up surrounded by music due in part to his father who was a drummer and musician.[2] After dabbling with multiple instruments including trombone and bass, he decided to learn guitar in hopes of becoming a singer-songwriter one day. [2] At age 16 he recorded his first album. [3] Shortly after, Hall left South Carolina for Los Angeles where he enrolled and studied classical guitar at Idyllwild Arts Academy.[3] 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. During his senior year at Idyllwild Arts Academy, Hall was signed to Geffen Records,[3] which signaled the formal start of his career.
