Details:
Hunter began studying music at the age of six. A native of Jackson, Mississippi, Hunter played in many local bands as a teenager, and in 1982, while working on a Business degree at Belhaven College, he began performing as a solo artist. After graduating from college in 1985, Hunter became a full-time musician, playing in Louisiana, Alabama, Florida, Illinois, and Texas, as well as his home state, where he soon developed a loyal following.
In 1989, Hunter recorded his first album, "The Unopened Door." It received regional radio airplay, especially in Mississippi, and the self-produced effort received national attention for its production.
"Fountain of Youth," Hunter's second release, came out in 1993. Its first single "Kymberly" started receiving airplay on Jackson station B95.5, and within the first week, it was the fifth most requested song, competing with national hits. His third CD "The Home Sessions" came out in 1998. It continues to receive local radio airplay. His most recent CD is a live one entitled "Love Songs Live."
