Lynden David Hall

***MESSAGE TO MYSPACE: PLEASE DO NOT DELETE THIS PAGE, ITS A TRIBUTE SITE AND I HAVE APPROVAL FROM THE ARTIST'S WIFE ***



In my own personal words, Lynden was a god amongst mortals. His music was so contagious and soulful he could reach out and touch you just with the tone of his voice. Lynden was more than just a singer he was a musician. His music for me broke the bounds of music and merged into poetry, a type of music so attractive its incredible how underated and unknown he is. Lynden David Hall was easily for me the best home grown act I have ever heard.

Lynden also set up a charity to raise awareness through music about cancer, and I will carry on preaching his wish and preaching his name for the world to know. one of the greatest musicians in history.

My regards go to Lynden's family and friends and most of all his wife, Nikkie Hall who I know joined him in founding 'Lynden's wish'. I've never heard truer words than the good die young.

Andrew Nunn.



Singer Lynden David Hall vaulted to the forefront of Britain's nu-soul movement with his 1998 hit "Sexy Cinderella." Born in London on May 7, 1974, Hall discovered classic soul music as a teen after he went to live with his record-collector father -- he soon taught himself to play guitar, and in time began composing his own songs, recording his first demo sessions while attending the British School for Performing Arts in Croydon. Through veteran manager Tony Hall (no relation), Hall's demos landed on the desk of BBC Radio 1 DJ Trevor Nelson, who signed the singer to EMI's fledgling urban subsidiary Cooltempo; Hall's debut LP Medicine 4 My Pain followed in the autumn of 1997, earning critical raves but selling poorly until a remixed "Sexy Cinderella" cracked the U.K. Top 20 the following year. The album went on to sell in excess of 100,000 copies and earned Hall the Mobo Award for Best Newcomer of 1998, but the 2000 follow-up The Other Side fared badly at retail, and his contract was terminated shortly thereafter as EMI reshuffled its roster. In 2003, Hall appeared in the romantic comedy Love Actually as a wedding singer, and two years later resurfaced with a third LP, In Between Jobs, on the independent label Random. By the time of its release Hall was fighting Hodgkin's lymphoma, however, and the disease claimed his life on February 14, 2006; at the time of his death, he was just 31-years-old.
