Charlie Hunter

He has worked with the likes of Norah Jones , Mos Def, John Mayer, D’Angelo, Frank Ocean, Silvana Estrada, Kurt Elling and countless others.

His recent independent venture, SideHustle Records, is steered by his motivation to release music that most inspires him. Critics have touted his genius technique, but it's his profound artistic sensibility that propels his original music. Hunter's signature style of writing and performing has secured his place as one of today's great guitarists. Hunter currently plays a Big 6 and/or a 7 String Hybrid guitar.
