Indie folk artist Hunter Metts has recently signed with WME (William Morris Endeavor) for booking representation. He continues to be managed by Shelter Music Group.

Career Highlights: Hailing from Franklin, Tennessee, Metts gained national attention as a contestant on Season 19 of American Idol in 2021, where he finished in the top seven. Following his television debut, he released his first single, “The River,” in 2021, marking the beginning of his recording career. 

In 2023, Metts made the decision to leave his software development job to focus on music full-time. This transition led to a series of independent releases, including tracks like “Nothing to Lose” and “Paper Moon,” which showcase his soulful vocals and acoustic-driven melodies. 

His participation in American Idol featured several standout moments, including his rendition of “Falling Slowly” from the film Once, which received praise from both judges and audiences. Metts continues to expand his musical repertoire with recent releases. His latest single, “Weathervane,” was unveiled in January 2025, reflecting his evolving artistry and dedication to crafting heartfelt music. 

Hunter Metts has an exciting lineup of performances scheduled for early 2025, giving fans across the country the opportunity to experience his soulful indie folk sound live. His tour kicked off on January 24 at Kilby Court in Salt Lake City, UT. He will make several US stops including The Middle East Restaurant and Nightclub in Cambridge, MA, on January 30, and Mercury Lounge in New York, NY, on January 31 before taking the tour overseas.

With his new partnership with WME, Hunter Metts is poised to reach wider audiences through upcoming performances and projects, solidifying his presence in the indie folk music scene.
