Introduction…
Raised on a secluded ranch north of Goleta, California, Maxton Hunter's imagination ran free, ultimately leading him to music at a very young age. Rather than identify with a single instrument, his truest voice is found in the studio blending psychedelic folk-rock with ambient soundscapes and Indian fusion.
Beyond his solo pursuits, he’s the co-founder of Positively State Street, a member of the blues-rock quartet East Valley Road, as well as the live drummer for cinematic pop-folk artist Hunter Hawkins and singer-songwriter Evan Blix.
Previously, Hunter worked for the artist advocacy company Ari's Take, notably co-producing the Webby Award-winning New Music Business Podcast and shepherding marketing efforts for the #1 bestseller How to Make It In The New Music Business (Third Edition). Now with ParSonics Studio, Hunter balances his time overseeing branding, social media, and the official Alan Parsons archive.
“A tranquil soundscape that is sure to elevate the headspace around you.” ~Aquarium Drunkard
