Lynden David Hall (7 May 1974 – 14 February 2006) was an award-winning English singer, songwriter, arranger, and record producer who emerged during the late 1990s as part of the neo soul movement. Hall was well known for turning down a position within the UK pop group Blue during studio auditions in 2003. 　　Born in Wandsworth, South London, he won the "best newcomer" accolade at the 1998 MOBO (Music of Black Origin) Awards. 　　In 1999, he was the first UK performer ever voted "Best Male Artist" by the readers of Britain's Blues & Soul magazine. His debut album, Medicine 4 My Pain, as well as the singles "Do I Qualify" and "Sexy Cinderella", had an instant appeal to soul fans in the UK and elsewhere, but it was not until his work got the remix treatment that he got his major breakthrough.
