Having such a positive outlook on life has helped Hunter to keep his focus on the main events throughout his career. With so many professional achievements to choose from, Hunter says “it is hard to choose one, but I’d have to say it is probably getting to work with some of the greatest women to grace music.” Professional awards and accolades are great but for Hunter there is no question what his greatest personal moment is. “My greatest achievement personally is my daughter,” Hunter tells BE Modern Man. “She’s my everything, and she’s why I push myself!”
As fashion trends change from one year to the next Hunter reminds himself that “fashion comes from within” and uses this phrase to make an impact amongst his peers. “Life in itself is a journey, and you’re constantly reinventing yourself,” says Hunter. “I remember my good friend, Swizz Beatz, talking about this at an event we were both at and he said — You should constantly be reinventing yourself. It’s great to accomplish things, but once you’ve conquered and reached the highest heights of your field; what do you do next? You start the next chapter of your life. — I can’t describe it any better than how he said it.”
Hunter continues to reinvent himself both personally and professionally while making sure he impacts those watching his growth. “I see myself continuing to impact people,” says Hunter. “But not just people in my community, also every young person that feels that they can’t. I want to show them that they can.”
Living his life without permission has been the keystone for Hunter’s success. “To me a A BE Modern Man is a man that isn’t afraid to take life by the horns,” says Hunter. “He leads his life in a way that can make the best impact on himself and his community.”
