BIOGRAPHY – Aaron Hall
R&B legend Aaron Hall, who MTV dubbed one of the strongest vocalist of the past two decades, helped birth the New Jack Swing movement, which was the first to combine R&B with hip-hop beats. As the lead singer of the trio Guy, Aaron along with Teddy Riley and Hall's brother Damion, made an influence on R&B music that leaves its footprint today.
Hall rose to fame as lead singer on hits like “Groove Me,” “I Like” and “Piece of My Love” (from the group's self-titled debut album) and “Let's Chill” and “Do Me Right” (from their second album, The Future) before the trio disbanded in the end of 1991. In 1992, he collaborated with Charlie Wilson, a member of the R&B/funk group, The Gap Band. on the soundtrack to Eddie Murphy's hit film, Boomerang.
As a solo singer, his hits include the #1 R&B single, "Don't Be Afraid" (from the Juice soundtrack in 1991 and also on the popular videogame Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, playing on New Jack Swing radio station CSR 103.9) and his Top 3 single, "I Miss You" (from his solo debut in 1993), reaching #2 on the R&B chart and later peaking at #14 on the Billboard Hot 100, becoming his biggest pop hit. He also participated in several projects with R. Kelly and joined Kelly and a group of fellow R&B singers in the song "U Will Know" from the Jason's Lyric soundtrack.
Hall reunited with fellow Guy members for the 2009 BET Awards and again with brother Damion for a tribute to Jamie Foxx at the 4th Annual BET Honors (TV Special), which airs Feb. 21 at 9 p.m. (ET) on BET.
