Sam Hunt 10 Fast Facts, Biography, Wiki
In January 2017, it was announced that Hunt became engaged to Hannah Lee Fowler. Fowler, whom Hunt had been dating on-and-off since 2008, was the main inspiration behind his album Montevallo. Her name and their story are also referenced in his song “Drinkin’ Too Much”. They were married on April 15, 2017 in Hunt’s hometown of Cedartown, Georgia. Sam Lowry Hunt was born on 8th December 1984 in Cedartown, Georgia, USA, in a middle class family to Allen and Joan Hunt. His father was an insurance agent and his mother was a teacher in primary school. He was the eldest of three children. He studied at Cedartown High School and later went to Middle Tennessee State University and the University of Alabama at Birmingham, from where he majored in philosophy and graduated with a business degree in economics respectively. Right through his high school and college days he played football for his school / college team. He went on to become his university’s most valuable quarterback, till he got injured on the field and diverted his attention to music. Initially, he started learning the acoustic guitar while his injury healed and never thought of being a musician. However, his college mates liked his style and encouraged him to take music more seriously. Soon he started writing his own songs and singing in bars and informal gatherings amongst his friends. In 2007, he was invited to a football training camp with ‘Kansas City Chiefs’. However, he failed to make it to the team and decided to give up football and take up music as a career instead. For this, he moved to Nashville along with a friend in his mother’s minivan in 2008 and started a new life. Hunt was greatly influenced by his girlfriend, Hannah Lee Fowler, whom he dated since 2008 and finally married in April 2017 at his hometown in Cedartown, Georgia. She was the inspiration behind his debut album ‘Montevallo’ and he regularly consulted her on the major decisions he took in life. Though he is yet to have his own children, Sam Hunt is very much a family man and devoted to his wife. Hunt has a trademark style of a mix of speaking and singing in that male husky yet clear mid-range country voice that sets him apart from other singers. He writes songs with no specific genre in mind, but follows his instinct as a guide. His song writing has been heavily influenced by Brad Paisley and his singing has traces of Billy Currington and Alice Cooper style in it.
