R&B crooner Van Hunt grew up surrounded by the pimp lifestyle of his father. A soundtrack of classic soul and contemporary R&B was his backdrop and Hunt immersed himself in the tones and moods of it all. A move from the Midwest to Atlanta in his early twenties allowed Hunt to hone his soul sound in the making. He'd been playing guitar and writing songs since his teens, so naturally a career in music was on the horizon. Capitol inked him a deal in 2003 and his self-titled debut arrived in February 2004. Appearances on Soul Train, Late Late Show With Craig Kilborn, and NPR coincided with the release of Van Hunt's double single "Dust and "Seconds of Pleasure." On the Jungle Floor followed in 2006. ~ MacKenzie Wilson, All Music Guide see full bio >>
