Atlanta-based musician Van Hunt has been described as a bit of a throwback to R&B/soul singers of the '70s. He's been playing guitar and writing songs since his teens. Hunt first made a name for himself as a producer in the late '90s. Of his self-titled Grammy-nominated debut CD - for which he wrote, produced and played on all the songs - VH1 said he was "positioned to break the barrier that Black artists face in achieving success in the pop-rock realm." The newly-released 'On the Jungle Floor' is his sophomore CD.
