Hunter shares production credits on “All for Thee” with Shea Taylor and on “Blink of an Eye” with renowned guitarist and producer Kevin Dukes.
Hunter was raised in a Christian home and he and his family moved from Louisiana to California when he was 12 years old to serve in ministry at Harvest Christian Fellowship in Riverside, CA. His father was a longtime band leader and continues to serve as a worship leader. Hunter grew up surrounded by music and began playing piano at the age of three. His first involvement with live performance was at the age of twelve when he began joining his father on percussion as his father led worship for a prayer ministry at Harvest. In time, Hunter began playing piano, keyboard, and organ on a number of worship teams for various ministries.
He spent several years as a worship leader for the High School Ministry at Harvest and to this day continues serving in a variety of ministries. As a pianist/keyboardist/organist, Hunter has had the pleasure of accompanying artists such as Crystal Lewis, Steve Wiggins (formerly of Big Tent Revival), Jadon Lavik, The Daylights, Dennis Agajanian, Marty Goetz, Raymond Gregory, and Hanz Ives and the Harvest Christian Fellowship Worship Team for various live performances including the opportunity to perform with the Harvest Crusade Team for the Harvest Crusade in Anaheim’s Angel Stadium with over 48,000 in attendance.
Hunter loves the Lord and his greatest joy is glorifying Him through music and lyrics while leading and inviting others to join him. While Hunter hopes you do enjoy his music, his greatest hope is that you come to know and enjoy the fullness of the One Who inspires each word written and sung and each note played.
