About Me

I began my music life playing the piano by ear at the tender age of 4yrs. I was quickly whisked off to lessons but circumstances prevented me from really reaching my full potential. At 16 I picked up my Dad’s guitar and messed about with some basic chords but again, never really did much with it.Singing has always been a passion of mine. I sing everything, everywhere and sang in a local choir at one point.My partner Jake Annetts (go check out his site) recently encouraged me to pick up the guitar again which led to a rush of inspiration and I penned my first ever song. Within a few days 3 more had come along and voila ! suddenly I have my own Myspace site and the Annetts/Hunter household is now heaving with music. Life is bliss. {:o)I am a passionate supporter of many causes and devote myself to each one as a need arises. If you do nothing else, choose one cause and fight for it. Be it fighting world hunger, protecting animals from harm or saving our precious environment. We can make a difference !!

Influences:
I’ve had a lot of personal influences in music starting with my Father (Bill Hunter) and my Aunty Joan and all the Hunter family who surrounded me with homemade music as a child. My biggest influence lately has been my partner - Jake Annetts who has inspired me to open myself up musically and encouraged me to find myself.In the music world I have been heavily influenced by John Denver who was a master of melodic folk songs and a passionate humanitarian and environmentalist. I’m besotted with Josh Pyke who’s genius lyric writing makes me want to strive harder to better myself. And I love the ethereal sounds of female folk singers like Loreena McKennit or Joni Mitchell and Joan Baez.Ulitimately though I love all music in all genres and like to take a little piece of something from everyone I love. I’m inspired by anything that touches me and leaves me feeling breathless.
Sounds Like: lots of folk influences - Joni Mitchell, Loreena McKennit etc
Record Label: unsigned
Type of Label: None

My first song

I'm hoping to get my first song up on here sometime this week - these things take time. It's a folky, hypnotic song which I hope everyone will love as much as I do. Stay Tuned !!!
