"Reggae music came out of the hills of Jamaica from the Rasta bongo drumming infused with Jazz melodies... Also trying to capture the New Orleans Sound..." - Herbie Miller, Jamaian Music Historian

"Ben Hunter has been a central figure in a vibrant New Orleans Reggae scene for a long time now, and each move he makes seems to be a solid development towards becomming an important voice in Reggae." - College Music Journal

Born in the city that brought the world such musical greats as Mahalia Jackson, Louis Armstrong, the Marsalis family, and the Neville Brothers to name a few, Hunter is an artist to watch. With his unique vocal style and delivery, magnetic stage presence, and song writing ability, he has captured audiences in the US, Central America, Jamaica and the Bahamas.

An Intergalactic space and time traveller, the soul avenger has delighted over a quarter of a million fans headlining the Bob Marley Festival Tour. He has been featured on several TV ads, and has produced radio spots for a national fruit drink.

When describing how he feels about his music, Hunter has a strong conviction that his music is his life. He writes about life and experiences. He says "I often write about friends or people around me who have many social and emotional experiences everyday."

With roots encompassing vocal styles from early Bob Marley and Burning Spear, and with overtones of Mutabaruka to soulful R&B Issac Hayes and Barry White, his music translates into a very unique sound that transcends early Reggae into the 21st century. All these elements play a role in his thoughts and allow him to create music with a purpose geared towards a profound sense of awareness and consciousness. With determination and loyalty to Reggae music, Ben Hunter is moving from the air waves to intergalactic music from the universe. As the soul Avenger, Hunter is bringing a new musical experience to his fans as the intergalactic space and time traveller.

In 1991, he produced his first album called "A Freedom Song," with an award-winning music video, "I Remember," which won first place in the Louisiana Film Festival in the Music Video category.

Hunter joined with "Crucial Roots" in 1993 and recorded "Reality Check," produced by peached records. He won the Big Easy Award for Best African/Reggae in 1994, a local musical acknowledgement award.

In 1995 He released "Get the Beat Down," produced by Baba Alonso McAlpine and Bill Summers (an internationally acclaimed percussionist and producer), including his new style of poetry with Afro-Cuban rhythms, and receiving rave reviews.

In May of 1999 Hunter released "Live Intergalactic," a CD of tracks recorded on the Bob Marley Festival Tour.
