Aaron Hall (born 10 August 1964 in Bronx, New York) is an American R&B singer and songwriter. He was a member of the 80s and 90s trio Guy, along with new jack swing founder Teddy Riley and songwriter Timmy Gatling, and later Hall's brother Damian.

He has a son with "video honey" and aspiring rapper Gloria Velez, whom he has not seen since the child was a toddler. Velez says he has never paid any child support, a claim Hall does not deny, although he said he has tried to locate her and would like to see his son. Velez countered by saying that if he wanted to find her, she is not hard to find and if he wants to see his son, he should hire a lawyer. She has said she was abused both physically and verbally during their relationship and does not want her son exposed to Hall.

As member of Guy, Hall rose to fame as lead singer of 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. His vocal dinstinction is strangely similar to that of Charlie Wilson, a member of the R&B/Funk group The Gap Band. They also collaborated in 1992 on the soundtrack to Eddie Murphy's hit film Boomerang (film).

As a solo singer, his hits include the #1 R&B single, "Don't Be Afraid" (from the "Juice" soundtrack in 1991 & also on popular videogame Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, playing on Funk radio station CSR 103.9) and his Top 3 single, "I Miss You" (from his solo debut in 1994). 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. Coincidentally, It has long been said (jokingly) that Kelly should thank Hall for his success due to their similar styles.

Hall reunited with his brother and Riley as Guy on their 1999 reunion album, Guy III, which featured the modest hit, "Dancin'".

In July 2005, Aaron Hall came out with his last album entitled "Adults Only:The Final Album".
