 Hunter Brucks comes from a proud upbringing as a Michigan farmer’s son. Born in a town called “Maybee” might seem like an ironic lyric from one of his songs but he was actually raised in Maybee, Michigan. He is one of six children in a family that worked hard, played hard, and loved harder. Hunter was instilled with two very significant ideals from his father, “a strong work ethic,” and “a love for the guitar.” He has been performing since his “idol and best friend,” his Father, handed him a guitar at the age of six. “I am Always striving to be successful for “the right reasons” and refusing to fall into the typical “cookie-cutter; sounds the same” category often seen in today’s music," said Hunter while reflecting on his Fathers influences. |
