Born on May 12, 1985, in London, England, Hall showed an early interest in music and began playing the piano at the age of six. His parents, both music lovers, encouraged his passion for music and provided him with the necessary resources to pursue his musical education. Hall's early musical training was primarily focused on classical piano, and he quickly developed a talent for the instrument. He began composing his own music at the age of 12, and by the time he was 16, he had already written several pieces for piano and chamber ensembles. Hall's early compositions were heavily influenced by the classical music of the Romantic era, particularly the works of Chopin, Liszt, and Rachmaninoff. After completing his secondary education, Hall enrolled at the Royal Academy of Music in London, where he studied composition under the guidance of renowned composer and conductor Sir Peter Maxwell Davies. During his time at the academy, Hall was exposed to a wide range of musical styles and began to experiment with different forms and techniques in his compositions. One of Hall's early breakthroughs came in 2007, when he was commissioned to write a piece for the London Symphony Orchestra. The resulting work, titled "Symphony No. 1," was well-received by audiences and critics alike and established Hall as a rising star in the classical music world.

His works were performed by orchestras and ensembles around the world, and he received numerous awards and accolades for his contributions to the field of classical music. One of Hall's most notable works is his "Concerto for Piano and Orchestra," which was premiered in 2012 by the London Philharmonic Orchestra. The piece is a virtuosic showcase for the piano, featuring complex rhythms and intricate harmonies that push the limits of the instrument. The concerto has since been performed by numerous orchestras and pianists, cementing its place as one of Hall's most enduring works. Another highlight of Hall's career came in 2015, when he was commissioned to write a piece for the opening ceremony of the Rugby World Cup. The resulting work, titled "Rugby Fanfare," was a rousing and energetic piece that captured the excitement and energy of the event. The piece was performed live at the opening ceremony and was broadcast to millions of viewers around the world.
