who is hunter dane?

Hunter Dane is a self-taught auteur, musician, and filmmaker from foggy San Bruno, California. Born April 5, 2001, he makes sultry, dark music with a cinematic weight to it, built to be felt as much as heard.

He has worked with Juda Jay and Mr. Mercy, and he treats collaboration as a way to cross boundaries and bring different voices into the room. His work centers on self-care, mental health, and the relationships that matter most. His hit single “FROZEN IN TIME” shows that approach well: raw emotion caught in a dim room.

His filmmaking runs alongside the music. In 2025, he won Best Original Score at the iDEAL International Film Festival for Rachel Patrice’s short film And The Beat Goes On.
