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.
The Hunnypot Unlimited brand is synonymous with quality music and recognized as one of the premier industry tastemaker sources. Hunnypot provides exclusive promotion, marketing, brand development and placement representation of owned and non-owned copyright and recording assets through expansive relationships within the music, film, television, ad and gaming communities using unique, forward thinking approaches to business and distinct and creative grass roots campaigns. Hunnypot provides exposure to cutting edge music and changes the palate of listeners worldwide through endorsement, promotion, packaging and/or planning of live music concerts and events. Hunnypot Radio and the Hunnypot Website provide instant awareness of Hunnypot artist activity as well as contemporary music news and other culturally relevant media.
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 recently resulted in one of the most lucrative catalogue sales in Music Publishing history.
In 2008 John applied the A&R/Publisher/Placement model to the branded Hunnypot name and established itself as a leading independent music publishing/placement company representing the catalogues of Far East Movement, Louis Prima Jr., The Dollyrots, Barnyard Stompers, Mochipet, Young Creatures, The Cataracs, Dr. Hollywood, A House For Lions, Bearheart, J*LABS and Ghost Lit Kingdom.
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.
John is also on the Music Industry Executive Fundraising Committee for the City of Hope, the premier Music Industry charity organization and was a member of the Academy of Country Music (ACM) Film & Television Task Force.
Hunnypot Unlimited was originally formed to create “community” within the then burgeoning film, television, ad and gaming music fields. After quickly accomplishing this mission by establishing itself as the epicenter of the industry’s social community, 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.
The name “Hunnypot” was first introduced in 2000 by music industry veterans John Anderson (at the time, Sr. VP of Creative/Film & TV for Windswept Music) and composer agent Tammy Krutchkoff. In an effort to bolster internal support for their soon-to-be highly significant and lucrative area of the Entertainment Industry, Hunnypot was originally designed as a “mixer” for the rapidly growing Film, Television, Ad and Gaming Music and Soundtrack fields. By way of monthly parties and one-off events throughout the world, the Hunnypot Party has come to symbolize an electrifying, exhilarating and stimulating experience for the entire creative community.
In November 2005, John Anderson and top-tier Music Supervisor PJ Bloom launched Hunnypot Radio; a live, interactive “listening session” emanating from the Hunnypot studios and streamed over the Internet at the HunnypotUnlimited.com site. This bi-weekly radio show draws a consistent audience of music and entertainment industry professionals, artists and songwriters, friends, acquaintances and the creative community at large. Not only has the radio show generated extraordinary industry buzz and favorable press, it has led to sponsorships from beverage and lifestyle companies (including Korbel Champagne, Tito’s Vodka, Bionade, Hubert’s Lemonade, Blue Microphones, IZZE & Kenwood Wines).
In September 2007 and after 18-years with the company, John Anderson left his role as Sr. VP of Film & TV Music/Creative at Windswept Music so that he could focus his attention on Hunnypot Unlimited in order to fulfill his greater, long-term goals for the brand.
Presently, Hunnypot has established itself as a leading independent music publishing/placement company.
Hunnypot Unlimited’s core business is its Music Publishing, Placement and Licensing division. Hunnypot provides exclusive promotion, marketing, brand development and placement representation of owned and non-owned copyrights and recording assets through expansive relationships within the music, film, television, ad and gaming communities using unique, forward thinking approaches to business and distinct, creative grass roots campaigns.
Hunnypot Records is our successful digital imprint through InGrooves, the leading digital sales aggregator in the business. With multiple releases from FM, Hot Pink DeLorean, ASVA and Mic Terror on all the relevant retail sites and notable chart success on retail leaders like iTunes and Beatport, Hunnypot Records has demonstrated its ability to capitalize in the digital-era retail market. Within less than a year, Hunnypot Records released the #1 selling song in the entire InGrooves catalogue with Far East Movement’s “Girls on the Dancefloor”.
Hunnypot Unlimited is synonymous with progressive, cutting-edge music of exceptional quality. Hunnypot’s ability to identify and uncover new, emerging and relevant talent on a worldwide scale is only matched by our unwavering desire to champion it. Hunnypot Live is the vehicle by which we bring these artists directly to the people.
