Producer and Platinum writer OD Hunte has independently carved out a niche for himself as one of London's producers capable of "Rocking with the Best" as attested by his international Film, TV and Game placements as well as Major and independent production and remix work alongside the worlds premier acts such as Black Eyed Peas, Akon and Gnarls Barkley. His latest film placement in the 2010 US Feature Film Mother and Child starring Samuel L Jackson, Naomi Watts, Annette Bening and Kerry Washington will feature the track "I Am What I Am" by his recording project Ten Days Till. Ten Days Till features vocals by singer/songwriter Lifford best known for his international chart hit "Please Don't Turn Me On" with Artful Dodger. Other major Film and TV music placements for OD include "Get Them Hands High" by Ten Days Till in American Pie 6, Warner Brothers' Fast Lane, Paula Abdul's Hey Paula and EA Sports NBA Live 07. "I Am What I Am" and "Get Them Hands High" are taken from the 4 track EP released on OD's own Southern Cuba Records Label and represents 4 of the 10 tracks from the completed but unreleased MusicSoulLife album.
In addition to the previously mentioned US films, other films to feature OD Hunte's music include Farce of The Penguins starring Samuel L Jackson and Whoopi Goldberg and Pretty Dirty Things. OD's ability to create a compelling backing track that stands on it own is exemplified in the latter of these placements as Pretty Dirty Things featured the instrumental "Makin of A Million" while Farce of the Penguins featured "From the Start" by newcomer Slic One. This was the second major placement for the OD Hunte Produced Slic One, the first being "Crook Dancin'" in EA Sports' legendary Fight Night Round 3 series of games.
