Maxton Hunter

Santa Barbara, Ca, United States

Raised on a secluded ranch north of Goleta, Maxton Hunter’s imagination ran free, ultimately leading him to music at a very young age. Rather than identify with a single instrument, his truest voice was soon found in the studio—blending psychedelia, folk-rock, ambient soundscapes and now Indian-fusion, following studies with sitar virtuoso Rajib Karmakar. Further creative efforts include writing and performing with the soulful blues quartet East Valley Road, overseeing Alan Parsons and ParSonics Studio’s visual identity, as well as performing with ambient ensemble Academy of Light and singer-songwriter Evan Blix. Formerly at Ari’s Take, he co-produced the Webby Award-winning podcast and shepherded marketing efforts for the third edition of How to Make It in the New Music Business.
