He is half of the Vancouver-based hip-hop group Swollen Members, alongside Prevail and longtime producer Rob the Viking. In 2009, he released his solo EP entitled The Mad Child EP. Mad Child can be recognized by his high, nasal, atypical voice.
In late 2009, around the time of the release of the newest Swollen Members album "Armed to The Teeth", news broke about Bunting's addiction to opioid painkillers. His addiction was purportedly directly related to the 3 year "break" taken by the group. He has since recovered, and often references his past in his more recent lyrics.
Madchild was also a previous member of the legendary Rock Steady Crew.

Madchild Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm very good at what I do
I'm not denying that
I'm really very good at what I do (what?)
It's something that I'm uniquely designed for (nah)
(Nah I'm good, I'm a recording artist)
(What? Taxes?)
These rappers talk like felons but they're all fake villains
Madchild 'bout to erupt like Mount St. Helen's
I don't give a fuck if I hurt your feelings (nope)
Get your helmet cracked, I'm a silver back gorilla
Yea, this is quantum physics (yeah)
"Little Monster" will stomp on you daunted midgets
I've lived a life full of wrong decisions
I got condoms for conjugal visits (oh)
With blonde haired midgets, monsters, mongrels and wizards
This is on-going, I'm throwing bombs in a blizzard
This is calculated long division
I got a strong condition, my funds are insufficient (oh)
It was a really fuckin' long intermission
Now I'm goin' all out, and I ain't askin for permission
While I gather up my arsenal, you couldn't wrap a parcel
You're a harsh farce marshmallow with a asshole
Shit, harsh like morning breath
Caught a coroner, use a foreigner, got 'em bored to death
The left bracket of the west, aw yes
Where they put a ratchet to your chest
A bunch of squares like checkers, Check mate
Create like Steve Jobs
Take like Bill Gates
You motherfuckers is late, like a hour CPT
and all you niggas' whiter than me
I rap like I write in calligraphy
Colorful shit, paint pictures like this
Lounging in the pent house at the Ritz
You on some gullible, Dr.Huxtable shit
Jello puddin' pop in the mix
Temple University sweaters, man fuck Madchild
I need a thousand or better just to write letters
White up the scene, bloody redder then poinsettia
Ten steps ahead of ya
Shoot the messenger
