  • He went to an HBCU.

    Hunt studied English at Morehouse College in Atlanta, but he left to pursue his music career, as cited by PEOPLE.

  • He is a musician.

    Music runs in his blood. According to Page Six, his father was friends with drummer Jimmy “Diamond” Williams of the Ohio Players. Hunt was first introduced to music as a kid and began playing the drums at 7. He is also skilled on the saxophone, keyboard, and the guitar.

  • He is a Grammy winner.

    In 2007, he won a Grammy for Best R&B Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals for “Family Affair." That song was first recorded by Sly & The Family Stone in 1971. After receiving his award, Hunt posed for a photo with his then-manager, Randy Jackson.

  • He is a dad.

    Hunt has a teenage son whom he tends to not post much on social media. Still, whenever he does, it's always a sweet moment. The father-son duo have also shared the stage together. 

    "that one time i got to sing w/my kid0. we performed 'Bring It On Home to Me' by Sam Cooke (Lou Rawls on background vocals). after havn the nerve 2 ask me if he could sing the Sam Cooke part and receiving the evil eye, he proceeded to sing the Lou Rawls part AS IF IT WERE the lead part. he stole the show from his ol' man and never gave it back ;-)," he said in a post in 2020 of that moment.

  • He is a Pisces.

    Hunt's birthday falls on March 8, the same day as International Women's Day. Last year, Berry showed her man some love in a post on Instagram on his special day.

    "Happy Birthday, VanO! It’s amazing how you walked into my life and I can’t remember living without YOU! Here’s to many more my love."
