Curtis Jasmyene Hall known as “Kurt Da Great” was born on October 28th, 1988 and is a native of Albany, Ga who currently resides in Jacksonville, Fl. Kurt has done a lot of moving around and in the midst of his travel, found influence, resulting in his own originality and contribution to the Hip Hop sector. Prolific in his delivery, Kurt enjoys enticing his fans and listeners with “catchy phrases and electric hooks.” He is focused on success; Kurt is an enlisted member of the U.S. Navy, where he has combined his work ethics with his love for music. Being influenced since the age of eight, Kurt has always said “whatever I lack in talent, I’ll certainly make up for it with my work ethics.”

Kurt had his first memorable encounter with music when he purchased the hit single, ‘Cross Roads’ by Bone Thugs in Harmony. He also has other influences like: Johnny Taylor, Kool Moe Dee, Kid N Play and Rob Base, just to name a few. Kurt started out freestyling on school busses and afterschool track meets in high school, which would generate some of his soon to be popularity amongst peers.

Â At his first appearance at Club Bliss in May, 2015, Kurt said initially the crowd was hesitant of a new face but once the beat dropped, “their reaction was mind blowing,” he says and has inspired him to prepare for bigger audiences and settings. At this particular moment in his career, “I just wanna work” Kurt says. He just recently signed a distribution deal with Mix Therapy Records, where he feels he made the best decision, to get all his hard work and dedication exposed

to the masses.

Kurt doesn’t take any of this lightly, as he would find at a young age, the meaning of sacrifice, consistency, perseverance, and patience which would all have bearings on his up and coming road to being known as a musical “Great.” Kurt has dedicated himself toÂ performing, traveling, and making a name for himself in the last year. With several projects completed, he has already been introduced on Reverbnation and some of the other musical references found online.

Kurt defines his purpose for making music, as a hope of seeing people have fun, dance and something they can relate to. “I don’t wanna brag and boast about being the ‘next best thing’ but I will brag and boast about my commitment to making good music!” He considers “Hustle Music,” to be what he is most experienced in which is much like his determination and diligence to make it [all about the hustle]. Kurt plans to take several platforms by storm with his creativity and talent, not only musically but fashionably as well.
