Hunter Phelps
Songwriter/Artist
Hit songwriter Hunter Phelps was born and raised in Niceville, Florida, where he was introduced
to songwriting at a young age by his father, who owned a small recording studio. When he
wasn’t hunting or fishing the bayous and bays of the Florida panhandle, he taught himself guitar
and worked at a local marina. Phelps attended the University of Florida in Gainesville, where he
began writing songs. He joined a band, started playing tailgate parties and bars around town,
and quickly developed a loyal following. Early in his career, he shared the stage with major label
acts Jason Aldean, Blake Shelton, Michael Ray, and more. Phelps moved to Nashville in 2012
and, armed with his guitar, he honed his craft in the honky tonks of Lower Broadway and
sharpened his songwriting skills on Music Row. In 2014, he signed a joint publishing deal with
Tape Room Music and Warner/Chappell Music. His songwriting career has skyrocketed, landing
him seven number-one singles, including Dustin Lynch and Mackenzie Porter’s six-week
number one, “Thinking ‘Bout You.” In 2023, Phelps received his first nomination for ACM
Songwriter of the Year, paired with a Song of the Year nomination for HARDY and Lainey
Wilson’s “wait in the truck.” While he focuses mainly on writing, Phelps continues to release
successful projects of his own, including his most recent single, “Bird Dog.”
