The first Quarter of 2009 has been a very busy period for OD Hunte.

OD is wrapping up production and recording on the project which has kept him busy for the past 7 months, 18 year old singer Lovelle.

TED the UK's leading supplier of resort entertainment in the UK, Europe and the Med were so impressed with OD's previous theme tune productions, that they commissioned a new theme to their Bear in The Woods show. Although this assignment was outside of OD's usual remit of Hip Hop, Soul, RnB and Reggae and instead Pop-Rock we again see that OD's ear for a good tune and production produces excellent results. Vocals were by Manchester singer Vicky Nolan.
OD has signed new singer songwriter Daniel Spencer to a production deal. They will be developing tracks for future release.
Promotion will begin shortly for the OD Hunte produced track Strike Back by Lady Maga best known for her feature on the Basement Jaxx single Jump.
