Senie Hunt
Senie Hunt is a self-taught, singer-songwriter and percussive guitarist based in Memphis, Tennessee. Adopted from Sierra Leone at age 5 during the brutal Diamond Wars, Senie brought with him an inherent passion for West African rhythms and percussion. As a young boy, Senie and twin sister Sentho used djembe drumming as a creative outlet to process the traumas of their early childhood. Senie’s playing is eclectic, powerful and artfully unique. In the winter of 2020, he was awarded the Innovators award at the first Granite State of Mind Music Awards for his guitar mastery, and uniquely crafted songs and compositions. He has featured as the opening act and shared the stage with several well established artists such as the legendary Richard Thompson, The Levin Brothers, Robert Randolph, The Brooks Young Band, and Daby Touré.
