In a world where synthetic trends often overshadow substance, Hunter Cassidy is forging a musical path rooted in authenticity, emotion, and timeless inspiration. Hailing from Springfield, Illinois, this rising star began his journey in 2020 and has since captivated listeners with his signature blend of pop, acoustic, dark pop, retro, and rock. His debut track After the Storm marked the beginning of a career steeped in emotional resonance and sonic versatility.
Hunter isn’t just another name in the game—he’s a storyteller with depth. Influenced by legends like Michael Jackson, Ed Sheeran, John Mayer, and Freddie Mercury, Cassidy pulls from an eclectic pool of sound and sentiment. Each lyric he writes and every melody he constructs is born from a deeply personal place. “I write all my material,” he says proudly. “From the music to the lyrics, it’s all me.”
Currently signed and working closely with producer Collin King, Hunter is pouring his creative energy into his highly anticipated debut EP, set to drop later this year. His latest single, Telephone, released January 15th, is a haunting yet melodic dive into connection and distance—two themes that resonate deeply in our modern world.
Though unsigned artists often dream of labels and deals, Cassidy isn’t chasing clout. “I don’t want a record or distribution deal. I’ve found my team and I trust them,” he says. That loyalty shows in his art, where every visual and every sonic decision is handled with care, even down to his own music video concepts.
Whether he’s dreaming of performing in New York or Miami, sharing a stage with Ed Sheeran or Noah Kahan, or looking ahead to packed stadiums, one thing is clear: Cassidy has the talent, drive, and soul to get there. Backed by the unwavering support of his wife and label, he’s gunning to be one of the industry’s top acts within five years.
