CLIFF HUNDO is a name that appears as an artist credit on a subset of Apple Music's international storefronts for a single 2024 dance track, HUNDO, featuring Dutch Melrose. On other storefronts, including the United States, Singapore, Hong Kong, Croatia and Italy, and on Amazon Music, the identical release is credited instead to Hot Intent & Sorry Not Jomari. No independent biography, real name, birth year, hometown, social media account, interview or press feature has been documented under either credit name, and MADKID Records' own artist roster page does not list Cliff Hundo, Hot Intent or Sorry Not Jomari among its signees.
The earliest music tied to this credit is a 2023 single called LIKE THIS, billed on Amazon Music as Hot Intent & Cheaze. That release carries no "Cliff Hundo" variant anywhere in available catalog data; the alternate spelling only appears a year later, attached to the single HUNDO. No source, official or otherwise, ties a legal name, age, hometown or biography to either "Hot Intent" or "CLIFF HUNDO." There is no Instagram, TikTok, X, YouTube channel, SoundCloud page or Genius artist profile under either name. The single closest thing to a public footprint is a listing on the ringtone aggregator ToneMela, which carries one ringtone titled simply "HUNDO" under the tag "CLIFF HUNDO," a page that mirrors Apple Music's own metadata rather than reflecting any separate confirmation of the name.
HUNDO was released on April 19, 2024, a roughly two-minute dance track built around a featured vocal from Dutch Melrose, the Los Angeles based alt-pop artist and MADKID Records founder. The single's copyright line reads "ℎ 2024 Were Not Sorry," a rights holder distinct from MADKID Records, which is the label credited on Dutch Melrose's own solo output. Apple Music classifies HUNDO under the "Dance" genre tag, separate from Dutch Melrose's primary "Pop" classification, consistent with the track functioning as a guest feature verse on an outside act's dance record rather than a Dutch Melrose or MADKID release in its own right. Dutch Melrose has taken outside dance-genre features before; HUNDO sits in that same lane rather than in his core alt-pop catalog.
The single's billing differs depending on which Apple Music country storefront is queried, even though the release date, runtime, featured artist and second credited collaborator (Sorry Not Jomari) are identical across every version:
| Storefront | Credited As |
|---|---|
| United States, Singapore, Hong Kong, Croatia, Italy; Amazon Music (all regions) | Hot Intent & Sorry Not Jomari (feat. Dutch Melrose) |
| Spain, Russian-language listing, Fiji, Canada | CLIFF HUNDO & Sorry Not Jomari (feat. Dutch Melrose) |
This split appears inside Dutch Melrose's own "Appears On" module on his Apple Music artist page, which surfaces any track where he is credited as a featured performer. The module renders the same feature credit two different ways depending on the storefront's locale, a metadata inconsistency rather than evidence of two separate releases or two separate acts.
MADKID Records' official artists page lists exactly seven acts: Dutch Melrose, Benny Mayne, Ashley Sienna, Natalia Marion, Harry Was Here, Pretty Havøc and Rad Cat. Cliff Hundo, Hot Intent and Sorry Not Jomari are not on that list. HUNDO's copyright belongs to "Were Not Sorry," not to MADKID Records, and no MADKID roster announcement, press release or social post mentions any of the three names. The most consistent reading of the available record is that HUNDO was a one-off outside feature by Dutch Melrose on another act's independently released single, in the same vein as other non-MADKID guest verses he has recorded, rather than a MADKID Records signing or in-house release.
Apple Music's recommendation algorithm places HUNDO alongside tracks by Benny Mayne, Harry Was Here, and Rad Cat & Izzy Arden, all confirmed MADKID roster artists, on its "You Might Also Like" module. That proximity reflects shared sonic and marketing space in the dark-pop and dance-adjacent lane MADKID's roster occupies, not a documented label relationship.
| Year | Title | Billed As | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2023 | LIKE THIS | Hot Intent & Cheaze | Earliest traceable release under the Hot Intent credit; no Cliff Hundo variant found |
| 2024 | HUNDO | Hot Intent & Sorry Not Jomari / CLIFF HUNDO & Sorry Not Jomari (storefront-dependent), feat. Dutch Melrose | Copyright ℎ 2024 Were Not Sorry; Dance genre tag |
| Year | Event |
|---|---|
| 2023 | "LIKE THIS" released, billed to Hot Intent & Cheaze |
| 2024 | "HUNDO" released April 19, featuring Dutch Melrose; billed Hot Intent & Sorry Not Jomari on most storefronts, CLIFF HUNDO & Sorry Not Jomari on others |
| 2024–2026 | No further releases, interviews, or social media accounts surface under either name |
No source outside Apple Music's own storefront metadata treats the two as separate identities. The name change appears only inside the credit field for one single, HUNDO, and follows no pattern beyond which country's Apple Music catalog is being viewed.
MADKID Records' official roster page lists seven artists and does not include Cliff Hundo, Hot Intent, or Sorry Not Jomari. The HUNDO single's copyright is held by "Were Not Sorry," a separate entity from MADKID Records.
Dutch Melrose is the featured vocalist on the single HUNDO, released April 19, 2024. Beyond that feature credit, no further collaboration, label relationship, or public interaction between Dutch Melrose and either "Hot Intent" or "CLIFF HUNDO" has been documented.
Sorry Not Jomari is the second credited artist on HUNDO alongside Hot Intent/CLIFF HUNDO. No biography, prior catalog, or verified social media presence exists under that name either.
For the artist actually featured on HUNDO, see the Dutch Melrose wiki entry and the reporting on his broader feature history in The Dutch Melrose Collaboration Map. Background on the label whose roster does not include this credit is covered in MADKID Records: The Label Behind Dutch Melrose, and in the roster entry for Benny Mayne, one of MADKID's confirmed signed artists.
