Hunter Hayes! If your from the Acadiana or Southwest Louisiana area, chances are you heard of Hunter Hayes before he ever hit the national country music scene.
Fans of Cajun music heard of Hunter back when he was just a little boy. Hunter started out playing the accordion back when he was like four years old. Then when he was around six years old he came out with his first album that spawned a huge hit called “Six Years Old”.
What’s Hunter doing know?

Hunter was born in Breaux Bridge, Louisiana and since his start as a young boy, Hunter has been working on his craft and now is on the national Country music scene. He has also become a master musician who can play up to 30 different instruments! Wow!
He has already opened up for country music superstar Taylor Swift already in his young career. His first single “Storm Warning” hit the Country music charts and is currently sitting at #15. Not bad for your first single huh?
Among the many extraordinary things about Hunter Hayes, the multi-talented musician, writer, producer and performer, perhaps what is most astonishing is that in truth, he’s just getting started. And it is that fact which holds the promise of Hunter Hayes becoming one of the most significant musical talents to emerge, not just from Nashville, but from anywhere, in a long, long time.
Already, he has accomplishments beyond most musicians wildest dreams: Singing “Jambalaya” with Hank Williams Jr. in front of 200,000 people (15 million YouTube views) at the age of four; appearing with Robert Duvall (who gave Hunter his first guitar) in “The Apostle” at the age of six; playing with Johnny and June Cash, and Charlie Daniels at a BBQ; performing for President Clinton and many more. You might say that he’s lived a charmed life. But those experiences are simply the natural result of Hunter’s prodigal talent, one that’s been there from the beginning as though a gift from God, and one that he’s always conscious to be in service to.
Having moved to Nashville three years ago, Hunter was quickly signed to Universal Music Publishing Group where he has co-written songs for Rascal Flatts and Montgomery Gentry. At the same time, he was introduced to Atlantic Records’ Chairman/CEO and music visionary Craig Kallman, who he signed with at Atlantic Records
