Sam Lowry Hunt is a well-known American singer, recognized for blending country music with elements of R&B and pop. He was born on December 8, 1984, in Cedartown, Georgia, United States. As the eldest of three children, Hunt assumed a sense of responsibility early in life. His father worked as an insurance agent, while his mother, Joan Hunt, was a teacher.
Sam Hunt spent his formative years in Cedartown, Georgia, where he developed a strong affinity for sports—particularly football. He attended Cedartown High School, where his athletic talent earned him accolades including the 2002 Georgia Sportswriters Association Class AAA Offensive Player of the Year. He was also selected as a member of the All-State team as a versatile player.
Hunt pursued his college education at Middle Tennessee State University before transferring to the University of Alabama at Birmingham, where he majored in philosophy. During college, he played as a quarterback for two years but was ultimately unable to transition to a professional football career. A tryout with the Kansas City Chiefs' NFL training camp did not result in a permanent contract, prompting him to consider an alternative path.
In the summer of 2006, after sustaining a football injury, Hunt began to teach himself guitar to pass the time. What initially started as a casual interest soon evolved into a genuine passion. He performed informally for friends and at local venues, gradually honing his songwriting skills. Encouraged by his peers, he began playing at bars and small events, paving the way for a full-time music career.
Hunt moved to Nashville to pursue songwriting and soon started gaining recognition. In 2012, he received an ASCAP award for co-writing "Come Over," a hit song performed by Kenny Chesney. His songwriting talents continued to garner attention as he contributed to tracks for other artists before launching his own singing career.
