Early career

Music News Weekly

Music News Weekly was his self-funded newspaper and website. It generated controversy in 2005 for an article enhancing the erroneous scandal of gospel singer Hezekiah Walker. Although the scandal was diffused with a letter of apology after speaking with Walker, the website averaged over 20 million unique visitors. Uncomfortable with the tone and power that came with Music News Weekly, Hunter folded the firm.[2]

After a few startup misses, Hunter found his element in 2011 by creating Cinema Fresh an independent studio designed to produce digital video content, television content and film.[3]

Personal

He has two children and lives in Los Angeles.
