Ernie Halter is a soul-infused pop/rock singer-songwriter, a guy who’s been influenced as much by Paul McCartney as he has by Otis Redding. His fans remark, "Don’t wrack your brain trying to categorize him. Just listen to his music." Born in Inglewood, CA and raised in Orange County, he's been based out of the musical paradise of Nashville, TN for years now.

Ernie Halter grew up during a short but important technological era – “The Cassette Generation” – with a collection that included the Beatles Abbey Road, Billy Joel’s Glass Houses, and Elton John’s Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy. However the very first tape Halter ever bought, was Go-Go’s Beauty and the Beat. Halter recalls, “Belinda Carlisle was a little hottie, and even at 6 years old, I knew this to be true.” Halter also tuned into the FM dial on a regular basis during his childhood, staying glued to the radio as he soaked up all the pop goodness. During his college years, a friend made him a mix tape of Stevie Wonder’s greatest hits, which he played over and over until he knew every note…but we’re getting more .
