Travis Hall Bio

Travis Hall blends timeless soul with a modern touch — a velvet voice shaped by opera, rooted in tradition, and reborn in R&B.

A proud Grady baby and Atlanta native, Hall brings stagecraft and soul together in a way that feels both elevated and deeply emotional. Though he began songwriting later than many of his peers — in 2022 — he poured years of vocal training and jazz theory into every melody and lyric. For Hall, it’s essential to write real stories — songs born from longing, memory, and deep nostalgia.

He wrote and composed every track on his debut album HeART Museum, a body of work that plays like a living gallery of sound. With live instrumentation, lush Rhodes, cinematic strings, and themes of love, heartbreak, and joy, the album feels both classic and fresh.

Influenced by Luther Vandross, Ashford & Simpson, and Mariah Carey — and raised on a steady diet of gospel and 70s funk — Hall’s music is full of intention: every harmony, every word, every note. This is music made with reverence, imagination, and emotional truth.
