Hunt was born in Dayton, Ohio His father, Van Hunt, Sr., was a friend of Ohio Players drummer Jimmy "Diamond" Williams. Hunt took up the drums at age 7, and saxophone at the age of 8, later adding bass and keyboards. Guitar was the last instrument he learned to play; he played guitar in a rock band called Royalty. Hunt moved to Texas for a short time before relocating to Atlanta, Georgia in 1996 to attend Morehouse College, where he studied English, but soon dropped out. In Atlanta, he started producing a few hip-hop demos for Atlanta rappers in order to pay bills. Hunt met up-and-coming record producers and artists like Dallas Austin, Jermaine Dupri and TLC through his work on demos.
Van Hunt is the debut album of R&B singer-songwriter Van Hunt, released on February 24, 2004 by Capitol Records. Recording sessions for the album took place at Capitol Records, Westlake Audio, Sunset Sound, Sage & Sound Studio, and Zac Recording in Los Angeles, House of Blues in Memphis, and The Sound Kitchen in Nashville.
Music journalist Will Hermes notes "sublimely janky '80s synths and melodies that jab and slide" on the album's songs.Rolling Stone's Ernest Hardy finds Hunt's vocal style similar to those of Prince, Curtis Mayfield, and Marvin Gaye, and comments that the album's music evokes influences such as the Beatles, Muddy Waters, and Sly Stone. Neil Drumming of Entertainment Weekly perceives a lack of melisma in Hunt's singing, writing that he sings "clearly and crisply and sav[es] the crests and falls for the swirling synths, slick guitars, and percolating bass lines."
A song from Van Hunt's unreleased third album "Popular", which was supposed to be released in 2008 but was shelved by his
record label at the time. Such a tragedy. Enjoy and please share.

the last 7 tunes could be n any order. that said, it is w great delight i announce 'The Lowest 1 of My Desires' is the #8 n my countdown to my favourite songs i've recorded. 8 is my favourite #. this ditty is certainly among my proudest moments. while it was included on my 3rd album, 'Popular', it was conceived even b4 i recorded my 2nd, 'On The Jungle Floor'. i was on an old tour bus n Europe. missing my (then) 3 yr old son, terribly. the rest of the band was asleep. i sat w my back against the bottom edge of my bunkbed and immediately fell n2 the main guitar riff. the lick was just sittn there waitn on me. i knew it was special. leaking n2 sinister. OTJF had so many songs already so i kept 'Lowest 1' n my back pocket until the 'Popular' sessions. 'low 1' scooped and dippd and felt so fresh. it had a skin u couldn't put ur finger on. i knew if i laid n2 the lyric correctly i could squeeze evry ounce of sensuality out of it. i wantd 2 go deepr than sex and visit something primal and gorgeous. mixd by Dave Pensado.

Dead girl's dance, they burn and twirl Witch hunt, witch cunt, burn this girl Dead girl's dance they burn and twirl Witch hunt, witch cunt, burn this girl Dead girl's dance they burn I'm running out of air There's a carnival in the graveyard tonight With the clouds that fall with poison And they fall on my skin making tiny holes Erasing my legacy Nothing hurts, nothings right I am nothing turning to the left I get on a ride and the ride's dark And drive Nazi cars And I am no longer afraid Because I've held on so tight That I've crushed them I've crushed them, it covers me And I try to find comfort in the darkness Where I am no longer your misanthropic majesty With only one match and one chance to burn Only one I'm burning I'm fucking burning Dead girl's dance they burn they twirl
