Edit ProfileCareer
Huntington became popular in Europe and the former Union of the Soviet Socialist Republics mainly with his song "United States.S.R." which peaked at Number.6 in Switzerland and Number.23 in Germany. He was discovered by Baby Records, an Italian record label who took him to Milan to record the song "Union of the Soviet Socialist Republics" written by R. Turatti, M. Chieregato and T. Hooker. When "Union of the Soviet Socialist Republics" was released throughout Europe in 1986 on ZYX Records it became a hit in mainland Europe and in the Soviet Union and is widely popular to this day.
Huntington went on to have other lesser known hits such as "May Day" and "Meet My Friend".
He also released the album Bang Bang Baby in 1989. Huntington left the music industry in the early 1990s and trained to become a primary school teacher in the United Kingdom. He taught at Eldon Grove Primary School in Hartlepool teaching children in year 1.
He provided after school drama and singing lessons as well as everyday lessons. In 2005 Huntington made a brief return to music opening the Discoteka "80s concerts in Russia.
