Miles Hunt (born 29 July 1966, in Birmingham) is the singer / guitarist and songwriter for the Stourbridge (West Midlands England), based pop band The Wonder Stuff.

Career

Hunt's first band (in which he played drums) was called From Eden, and featured future members of another successful Stourbridge group, Pop Will Eat Itself. After leaving this band he formed The Wonder Stuff and was their lead singer and principal songwriter until their split in 1994. He briefly presented 120 Minutes on MTV until 1996, when he formed a new band Vent 414 who failed to match the success of his former band. He toured as a solo performer for a time until he reformed The Wonder Stuff in 2000. They are still together to this day, and are facing something of a career relaunch, appearing on many summer festival bills in 2006. He also co-wrote and sang the theme tune to the CBeebies TV programme Underground Ernie.

Hunt married the late-night/early-morning BBC Radio 1 DJ Mary Anne Hobbs in 1991. She was working for the NME at the time. They were married for five years.

Over the last few years he has written a series of printed and online articles for Nottingham-based culture magazine LeftLion.
