Hunter’s Videos

When Hunter’s dad, Jerry Watson, was working part-time during college at a local NBC TV station, he learned about film recording and editing that became a hobby he shared with his sons, Hunter and Teddy. Both went on to develop the video skills they learned to share their love of music and performance with others.

Hunter's 7th-grade science teacher gave his class the assignment to visually display the workings of a cell, through a poster or the media of their choice. Hunter chose to make a video to fulfill the assignment and received an "A." The film highlights his emerging flair for comedy. The school continues to use the video as a successful way to approach a project.

Video Games

This song and video started as a family project that unexpectantly took YouTube by storm in 2007 — fronted by Hunter Watson on vocals and guitar, Matt Salutillo on drums, and Robert "Tug" Hunter on bass. The three were known as the Black Out Band. Their song, "Video Games," penned by Hunter and his mom, Judy, has an up-tempo pop-style melody that made it an instant hit at school assemblies and local festivals. But then the video blew up on social media and has been viewed more than 10 million times worldwide on YouTube.
