Mike Hall

Early life Hall was born on October 23, 1989, and raised in Madison, New Jersey. While in elementary school, he began playing the cello as his first serious instrument. Upon entering middle school, Hall's orchestra teacher switched him onto the upright bass due to his poor posture from childhood scoliosis. After graduating from Madison High School in 2008, Hall elected to switch over to playing the bass guitar.

Following his departure from the band, Hall received critical acclaim for his hybrid bass playing style that combines aspects of two handed tapping, slapping, and flamenco. Hall's creative approach towards arranging solo bass instrumental covers has also been the subject of education within the bass playing community.

Education Hall graduated from Centenary University as a double major in criminal justice and political science.
