Marcus A. Hunt, 27 years of age, married with 10 beautiful children. the oldest of 4 boys and 1 girl. Raised in Mississippi with my grandparents I learn to value life through their deaths. I moved to Kenner, LA at 13 due to my troubled lifestyle. I became a loose cannon upon meeting my father for the first time at the age of 10. Not really knowing my father and being rejected by him at 10 made me very depressed even to this day i hate not being able to have that relationship good or bad. That left me scarred with alot of pain and anger which cause me to make alot of bad choices in my life. With children of my own whom I love dearly I stress the importance of education and reality of this world daily and strive to succeed not for myself but for them because suceed or fail they love respect and look up to me as their father so I do my best to give them what I did not have as a child a FATHER. Because through them I will be a legend and that is the secret to living forever. Why this name? M. H.u.n.T. means Maintain, Humility, Understanding, Now Teach and it is my birth name abbreviated M. H.u.n.T.(Marcus Hunt) Do you play live? Not at the present. How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry? It has opened many closed doors. Such as getting yourself exposed to a general audience. Would you sign a record contract with a major label? Yes, but not as quick as I would have in the past. Band History: M. H.u.n.T.

And his friend believe he was destined to be a great motivational speaker based upon his academics and exceptional storytelling abilities.
