Senie Hunt, a self-taught singer-songwriter and percussive guitarist, adopted from Sierra Leone to the United States.

Having endured the hardships of Sierra Leone's Diamond wars during his early childhood, Senie sought solace in the enchanting beats of the djembe drum, allowing him to creatively process his traumas.
Upon arriving in America, Senie's father introduced him to the guitar, igniting a wave of experimentation where he skillfully merged traditional guitar styles with a captivating percussive groove, a testament to his West African heritage. Drawing inspiration from esteemed musicians like Stevie Ray Vaughan, B.B. King, The Allman Brothers, as well as later influences such as Michael Hedges, Tommy Emmanuel, and Andy McKee.
With a mesmerizing approach and unique style, Senie captivates audiences with his live looping, crafting performances that are a captivating blend of eclecticism, power, and artistic finesse.
