dbo:abstract
  • Hunterz ist ein englischer Musiker mit Einflüssen aus der arabischen Musikwelt und dem Bhangra. Nachdem er mit Slave II Fusion eines der erfolgreichsten englischen Alben des Jahres 2000 mitproduziert hat, erschien 2003 mit dem Album No Limits sein eigenständiges Produktionsdebüt, auf dem er allerdings nicht sang. Sein Gesangsdebüt kam 2003 mit dem Bhangra-Album Most wanted. Darauf befindet sich auch das Duett Aaja Kurhiye, dass er mit dem legendären Sänger , der ein Familienmitglied von Hunterz ist und den er seit frühester Kindheit kennt, aufgenommen hat. Laut Aussage von Hunterz ist Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan eines seiner größten Vorbilder. Er studiert seine Gesangsweise sehr intensiv und möchte sich auch in Zukunft ausgiebig damit beschäftigen. Eventuell wird er ihm sogar ein Tribute-Album widmen, die dazu notwendigen Verhandlungen mit den Plattenfirmen laufen gerade. Das zweite von ihm veröffentlichte Album trägt den Namen Phat Trax Vol. 1: Blazin, fertiggestellt wurde es 2004. Es hat im Gegensatz zu Most Wanteds internationalem Stil eine eher urbane Ausrichtung. Die meisten Songs kontrastieren Hunterz' in Hindi gesungene Texte mit englischsprachigem Rapgesang. Mit auf dem Album vertreten sind Hunterz' Brüder Ishers und Vee sowie sein Cousin Chan. Diese drei zählt er neben Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan zu denjenigen Menschen im Musikgeschäft, die er am meisten bewundert. Im Dezember 2004 war Hunterz mit seinem Baby Girl Mix von Aap Ka Aana aus dem Film Kurukshetra auf dem Album Streets of Bollywood, einem Album mit Remixes von Bollywood-Songs, vertreten. Außerdem produzierte er vier weitere Remixes von Bollywood-Songs für das Album Bollywood Breaks Vol. 1: Haare Haare, Tu Cheez, Dulhe Ka Sehra und Pehli Baar. 2005 schrieb er gemeinsam mit der britischen Reggae- und Popband UB40 den Song Reasons, den er im Zuge der weltweiten Live8-Konzerte gemeinsam mit UB40 und The Dhol Blasters im Londoner Hyde Park spielte. Hunterz' Bruder Ishers veröffentlichte 1999 den Song Teriyan Eh Pyar Nishanian, der allerdings nur selten im Radio gespielt wurde. Er arbeitet derzeit an einem Soloalbum, dass wohl demnächst veröffentlicht wird. (de)

After co-producing , he made his solo producing debut in 1999 with . However, he had no part in the singing. His vocal debut came in 2003 with the bhangra album . The second album to bear his name was , completed in 2004, which had a more urban flavour in comparison to Most Wanted's international style. Most songs contrasted Hunterz' Hindi lyrics with rapping in English. The album also featured Hunterz' brothers Ishers and Vee and his cousin Chan. In December 2004, Hunterz also featured on Streets of Bollywood, an album of remixes of Bollywood songs, with his 'Baby Girl Mix' of "Aap Ka Aana" from the 2000 film Kurukshetra. In 2005 Hunterz co-wrote and sang a single, "Reasons", with the dub/reggae band UB40. Along with UB40 and he performed this song at the Live 8 London concert in Hyde Park. He also produced four further remixes of Bollywood songs for the album : "Haare Haare", "Tu Cheez", "Dulhe Ka Sehra" and "Pehli Baar". On 16 June 2008, the album Masterpiece was released featuring Vee. Hunterz attended Kingsbrook Middle School in Bedford between 1984 and 1988, and then John Bunyan Upper School from 1988 to 1991. Rabz, Headz and Lee Daley were amongst his early musical associates. Mrs Parron, a teacher of Hunterz when he was 13 years old, saw his great musical potential even then referred to him as Hunterz. Among his numerous successes were the school record for 100 metres and high jump. Hunterz was affectionately known as 'Alveen' by the staff of Kingsbrook Middle School. Inspired by the advice to "Give it some welly!" by sports mentor Nigel 'Baldy Aldy' Aldis, Hunterz never stopped searching for his deeper spiritual connection with nature and the living world. Along with business associates Barry Lodge and Richard West, Hunterz and brother Ishaaz (then known by his stage name 'Ishpal') developed a model of retailing merchandise procured via unconventional market mechanisms. This was a successful business operation until Alan 'Mr Ormsby' Ormsby decreed selling bags of prawn cocktail crisps in the playground to be against school rules. Despite support from Mrs Parron and Zeena Horseman, Hunterz was forced to exit the commodity retail business and focus his considerable talents in other areas. Hunterz performed at the University of Sheffield on 8 February 2010, along with Imran Khan, Veronica and Dr Zeus. In the promotion for this performance, he gave an interview on BBC Radio Sheffield, where he officially announced that his new upcoming album in 2010 will be in collaboration with Rishi Rich. (en)
