Influences: Oh, where to begin! I guess I'll start with MY beginning. My Dad is a musical genius. The way he hears music and translates it from his body to an audience is beautiful and amazing to me. Theres nothing like laying under a grand piano and listening to him pour out his soul in song. His name is Ellis Hall and he's most known for singing leads with Tower of Power back in the late 80's. I WISH I could've been alive to hear Donny Hathaway play live. His voice is like velvet to my insides. Man, Stevie Wonder and James Taylor who's lyrics are both incredible. Chakah Khan, Ella Fitzgerald(I used to listen to her tape every morning on my way to high school, her and Donny and Aretha franklin) Recently I've been put on to Femi and Fela Kuti and Mandrill. Also, I started listnin to Hip Hop more in college(my best friend is a huge hiphop head so that was added to the morning repetoire of music alongside my fav's) In the new school I love Lauryn Hill, D'Angelo, Jill, ooh and I just got put on to Betty Davis(Miles ex-wife). The list could continue, but those are the most influential
