Sam Hunt is an American Country songwriter and singer. During his youth Sam was more of a sportsman and played football for his school and university team. However, he suffered an injury after which he failed to make it to professional football and decided to take up music instead. He loved country music, but made a difference by moving away from the stereotype country songs to develop a style of his own that has a trace of R&B and Hip Hop in it. It was not long before he signed a contract with MCA Nashville and released a four song E P titled ‘X2C’, with his first single ‘Leave the Night On’ that went on to be number one on the Country Airplay chart. His debut studio album ‘Montevallo’ soon followed, along with his acoustic mixtape, that reached number one on the Top Country Albums chart and had a 11 weeks reign. Since the launch of his career, he earned prominence from both outside and inside the country music community for incorporating pop into the songwriting and production of his songs, for his use of R & B and for blending different genres. Sam Hunt is quite active on social media. He has a huge fan following on Twitter and Facebook, and quite a number of subscribers to his YouTube channel. He certainly is a rising star in the American country music scene.
