Senie Hunt is a self-taught, singer-songwriter and percussive guitarist. Adopted from Sierra Leone, Senie brought with him an inherent passion for West African rhythms. After his family in America gave him his first guitar, he began experimenting with percussive finger-style grooves capturing his West African roots and blending contemporary genres. Senie’s mesmerizing guitar technique, strong vocals, combined with his live looping make for an eclectic performance that is powerful, fun and artfully unique.
