Hunter Metts

Born into a musical family in Nashville, Tennessee, Metts began playing instruments from a young age, gravitating toward avant folk artists like Bon Iver and Fleet Foxes in his teenage years. He fell hard and fast for artists like The Paper Kites, Gregory Alan Isakov, and Lord Huron, whose intentional lyrics and sweet, harmony-rich music became his north stars as he discovered his own voice and stepped into his own distinct folk identity. Yet it wasn’t until he spent a few years in the workforce as a coder that Metts realized the nine-to-five cubicle life wasn’t for him, and he embarked on a music career . He unveiled his debut single “The River” in 2021 and has been releasing a steady stream of songs ever since, finally quitting his day job to pursue music full time in 2023.

Released in summer 2024 via Position Music, Metts’ debut EP Monochrome is a long time coming – and a powerful introduction to his intimate and eclectic artistry. He describes the six-track Monochrome as an “umbrella of love,” explaining that its songs were pulled from his most intimate and meaningful relationships.
