David "Jam" Hall is an American record producer. He first became known for his production work on Mariah Carey's 1993 single "Dreamlover", which peaked the Billboard Hot 100. The year prior, he was credited on Mary J. Blige's debut album What's the 411? (1992),^[1] namely on its singles "You Remind Me", "Reminisce" and "Love No Limit".

He was further credited with similar roles on releases including Madonna's album Bedtime Stories (1994), Brownstone's 1994 single "If You Love Me", and Carey's 1995 single "Fantasy"—his second Billboard Hot 100-number one production. Hall has also produced for Usher, Donell Jones, CeCe Peniston, and Joe early in their respective careers.

He was also a remixer for "Scream" (1995) by Michael and Janet Jackson, and "Goldeneye" for Tina Turner that same year. He was married to comedienne Wanda Sykes from 1991 to 1998.^[2]
