It is a pleasure to welcome singer-songwriter and instrumentalist Hunter Blair Ambrose to The Jake’s Take with Jacob Elyachar Podcast.

Originally from New York and currently residing in Los Angeles, Hunter Blair Ambrose began displaying a profound love for the performing arts from the earliest years, starting at 5. What started as singing and studying music became formal vocal lessons, piano training, and continuing to study music and theater through grade school, high school, and college. Hunter’s professional career in pop began at 17 years old under the mentorship of Grammy Award-winning producer Narada Michael Walden.

After recording and co-writing her first tracks as a solo artist with Narada from 2013 to 2014, Hunter attended the Berklee College of Music. While studying there, she met several producers, writers, and engineers, eventually forming a core team to create her first studio EP and album Scorpio Rising (2020) and Scorpio Season (2021). The lead single, “November,” became viral and featured an interpolated sample of Lady Gaga’s 2010 hit “Alejandro.”

Inspired by Ariana Grande, Charli XCX, Dua Lipa, Lady Gaga, Rihanna, and the Weeknd, Hunter relates to artists who put effort into stylized content that correlates with their art. Blending illustrious production with often visceral lyrics to bring her audience into her artistic universe, Hunter is known for her powerful vocals, vast range, and provocative visual to her artistry.

In this edition of The Jake’s Take with Jacob Elyachar Podcast, Hunter Blair Ambrose spoke about the lessons she learned from Narada Michael Walden and the stories behind her songs, including her latest single: “Runaway.”
