SENIE HUNT, a self-taught singer-songwriter and percussive guitarist, embarked on a remarkable journey from Sierra Leone to the United States. Alongside his twin sister, he was adopted and brought his profound love for West African rhythms and percussion to his new home. Having endured the hardships of Sierra Leone's Diamond wars during his early childhood, Senie sought solace in the enchanting beats of the djembe drum, allowing him to creatively process his traumas.
Upon arriving in America, Senie's father introduced him to the guitar, igniting a wave of experimentation where he skillfully merged traditional guitar styles with a captivating percussive groove, a testament to his West African heritage. Drawing inspiration from esteemed musicians like Stevie Ray Vaughan, B.B. King, The Allman Brothers, as well as later influences such as Michael Hedges, Tommy Emmanuel, and Andy McKee, Senie honed his craft by meticulously studying live performances.
Showcasing a mesmerizing approach and unique style, Senie captivates audiences with his live looping, crafting performances that are a captivating blend of eclecticism, power, and artistic finesse. Despite his youth, Senie has amassed an impressive body of work, continuously composing and pushing creative boundaries.
