Born in Manteca and raised in Sacramento, California, ADDYHUNZ has been surrounded by music since childhood. Coming from a musically gifted family, he recorded his first song at just nine years old and began creating his own original work at 14. Now, as a passionate and independent artist, ADDYHUNZ is determined to become one of the biggest names in music—sharing stories of pain, perseverance, and faith through his deeply emotional sound.
Growing up in a church household, his earliest inspirations came from gospel and rock music, influenced heavily by his older brothers’ diverse taste. This combination laid the foundation for his raw, genre-blending sound—an outlet where vulnerability meets determination.

Finding Strength Through Heartbreak and Hardship
For ADDYHUNZ, music isn’t just self-expression—it’s survival. His songs speak for “the heartbroken lover boys and girls,” touching on emotional neglect, loss, and resilience. Having faced tough times, from being locked in juvenile hall at 14 to losing friends and experiencing homelessness, he channels every trial into melodies that move listeners. His song Eden on Ice, recorded in his ex’s sister’s room with minimal equipment, stands out as a powerful testament to authenticity—so raw that he cried during recording.
“My music is for people who’ve been broken but still believe,” he says. That mindset echoes throughout his latest EP, Hello World, a collection born from challenge and persistence. Despite losing most of his recordings when his laptop broke, ADDYHUNZ released the six songs he felt truly represented his growth. It was a bold step forward for an artist who’s already written and recorded over 6,000 songs in his lifetime.
Faith, Focus, and the Future of an Independent Artist
ADDYHUNZ’s story is one of faith, patience, and relentless drive. “I know I’m the biggest artist to ever exist—that’s my mindset,” he shares. His journey embodies the true spirit of an independent artist—self-taught, self-motivated, and guided by a deep belief in his purpose. Every verse he writes reflects his mission to prove that no obstacle can silence a determined heart.
Looking ahead, ADDYHUNZ dreams of signing with Interscope Records and continuing to inspire others through his music. He wants his audience to know that no matter where you come from, faith and persistence can take you anywhere. “Put your faith in God and Jesus Christ above everything else,” he says. “Believe in yourself—it may sound cliché, but it’s true.”
With a growing following, emotional storytelling, and unstoppable drive, ADDYHUNZ is setting the stage for a legacy built on resilience, hope, and raw human emotion.
