Enigmatic artist, songwriter, & producer Hunter Metts has shared his coming of age debut EP Monochrome, available to stream now on all DSPs worldwide via Position Music. Hunter wrote and recorded the songs out of his wooden-clad mid century cabin in the heart of Tennessee. The creative process for Monochrome provided a self-exploration of Hunter’s relationships, faith journey, and coming of age to guide him through the ebbs and flows of being a human. The record effortlessly weaves in and out of alternative and folk soundscapes, nestled somewhere comfortably between Bon Iver, Novo Armor, and Paper Kites.
Growing up in a musical family, Hunter Metts began playing the piano at a young age, and eventually started playing guitar and writing his own songs. He produces solely out of a spare room and has a close circle of creators that help with the projects. Hunter’s music is characterized by his soulful and emotive vocals, heartfelt lyrics, and acoustic guitar-driven melodies. He cites artists such as Bob Dylan, Neil Young, Ray LaMontagne, Paper Kites, Bon Iver, and Novo Amor as key musical inspirations.
Hunter has released several songs independently, including “Nothing to Lose” and “Paper Moon,” which showcase his ability to blend personal storytelling with catchy melodies. Some of his notable collaborations include Benjamin Francis Leftwich, Henry Brill, Tristan Bushman, Chandler Leighton, Dave Thomas Jr, Caleb Hearn, Cody Lovaas, Luke Niccoli, Jonah Kagen, and more. Hunter remains a cornerstone of the Nashville folk scene writing with and for other artists in the genre.
