He is rapidly emerging as one of the most exciting new voices in Nigeria’s music landscape.
Though, Benue State-born Oche Peter aka Hvntar launched professionally into music in 2018, his journey began long before that.
Armed with a Philosophy degree from University of Ibadan, Hvntar spent years honing his craft behind the scenes – writing, composing and refining a sound that now stands out in an increasingly crowded industry.
Today, his music blends raw emotion with rhythm, showcasing a unique voice that is both versatile and memorable. What, however, sets Hvntar apart is not just his vocal talent, his commanding stage presence is also an added value.
As both a composer and performer, Hvntar brings a rare energy to his show that connects deeply with his audience. That charisma has earned him spots on stage alongside some of Nigeria’s music heavyweights like 2Face Idibia, Burna Boy, Davido and Wizkid, a notable feat for an artist still on the rise.
In one of his recent career milestones, Hvntar made headlines by selling out a concert in Akure, Ondo State. The event drew an enthusiastic crowd and served as a powerful testament to his growing popularity and grassroots support. Fans described him as an all-round entertainer, one who doesn’t just perform music, but lives it.
Now back in the studio, Hvntar is working on a new project that promises to elevate his artistry even further. While details remain sketchy, sources close to the artist suggest that it could be his most powerful work yet.
With talent, discipline and a strong academic foundation, Hvntar is proving that you don’t need to follow the conventional path to make a mark in music.
As the artist continues to blend intellect with creativity, he’s not just chasing fame; he’s equally building a legacy. And if his current trajectory is anything to go by, Hvntar is poised to become a defining voice in Nigerian music.
