JOHN ANDERSON, CEO Creative, Lifestyle HUNNYPOT UNLIMITED

John Anderson is the ringmaster of Hunnypot Unlimited, a multifaceted Music Publishing, Artist Representation, Marketing and Film & Television Placement organization specializing in discovering and cultivating fresh music talent.

Over the last 10 years Hunnypot has gone on to acquire meaningful copyrights and masters, discover and develop commercially viable talent and leverage strong industry experience and relationships to generate significant income streams and exposure for our talent and our sponsor partners. Our most notable signing was the group Far East Movement whose #1 hits “Like A G6” and #7 “Rocketeer” have sold over 15 million singles worldwide. FM’s 2012 album ‘Dirty Bass’ and its singles “Turn Up The Love” and “Live My Life” broke Top 20 in over twenty countries and Top 10 in over ten. Current artists include Teenage Bottlerocket, The BellRays, J.D. Wilkes, Sky Cries Mary and Louis Prima Jr.

The name “Hunnypot” was first introduced in 2000. In its inception, Hunnypot was designed to promote after-hour business between prominent members of the Synchronization Community. Simply put, they are non-denominational parties in which a huge portion of the TV/Film Music Industry take part in.

In 2005 John launched one of the industry’s first interactive digital music discovery podcasts. Recorded live from John’s corner office in Beverly Hills, Hunnypot Radio was a live “listening session” featured cutting-edge music, a fresh perspective, and a rotating cast of established music industry professionals.13 years and over 400 shows later, Hunnypot Live has left the confines of John’s office for the vibrant music scene of Los Angeles. Currently held every other Monday night at The Mint LA, what once was a curated listening session between industry professionals has grown into an interactive marketing experience that combines elements of drive-time radio, a late night talk show, a house party, and an artist showcase.

John spent the first 20 years of his career in the music industry as an integral member of Windswept Music Publishing. He helped take the company from a fledgling start-up to the largest independent Music Publisher in the world, a feat that resulted in one of the most lucrative catalogue sales in Music Publishing history.

John’s early track record as a song-plugger boasts hits like Eric Clapton’s “Before You Accuse Me” and Vanessa Williams’ career-defining song “Save The Best For Last.” Over the course of his industrious Publishing career, John has worked closely with some of the biggest songwriters of all-time including Sean Garrett (Usher “Yeah”, Fergie “London Bridge”), Mike Elizondo (50 Cent “In Da Club”, Mary J. Blige “Family Affair”) and Albert Hammond (Julio Iglesias “To All The Girls I’ve Loved Before,” The Hollies “The Air That I Breathe”).

As Sr. Vice President of Film & Television Music for Windswept, John was essential in the synchronization and licensing careers of such seminal artists as Pete Townsend, John Mellencamp, Nick Cave, The Allman Brothers and Willie Nelson as well as new stars like Corrine Bailey Ray, Snow Patrol, Kings of Leon, Beyonce, Mickey Avalon and Lady Sovereign. Some personal placement triumphs for John include Snow Patrol “Chasing Cars” in Grey’s Anatomy, The Who songs featured in the entire CSI franchise, Kings of Leon’s “Molly’s Chamber” for Volkswagon, and The Dollyrots “Because I’m Awesome” for both Hewlitt/Packard and Kohl’s Department Stores.

As one of the key A&R representatives for Windswept, some of John’s signings included Fischerspooner, The Dollyrots, Meat Beat Manifesto, The Cramps, Talib Kweli, Blackstar, The Coup, Hi-Tek, The BellRays, Johnette Napollitano (Concrete Blonde) and Shy Child.
