Hunterz is an English urban musician with Arabic, Hindi and Bhangra influences. After co-producing Slave II Fusion, he made his solo producing debut in 1999 with No Limits. However, he had no part in the singing.

His vocal debut came in 2003 with the bhangra album "Most Wanted".

The second album to bear his name was "", completed in 2004, which had a more urban flavour in comparison to Most Wanted's international style. Most songs contrasted Hunterz' Hindi lyrics with rapping in English. The album also featured Hunterz' brothers Ishers and Vee and his cousin Chan. In December 2004 Hunterz also featured on Streets of Bollywood, an album of remixes of Bollywood songs, with his 'Baby Girl Mix' of "Aap Ka Aana" from the 2000 film Kurukshetra.

In 2005 Hunterz co-wrote and sang a single, "Reasons", with the dub/reggae band UB40. Along with UB40 and The Dhol Blasters he performed this song at the Live 8 London concert in Hyde Park. He also produced four further remixes of Bollywood songs for the album "Bollywood Breaks Vol. 1": "Haare Haare", "Tu Cheez", "Dulhe Ka Sehra" and "Pehli Baar".On June 16, 2008, The album Masterpiece was released (amazon.com) featuring Vee.
