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 ↴
Yeah, yeah, I'm a monster
Yeah, I'm a monster
Yeah, I'm the little monster
Yo I do backpack rap, I got money in my backpack
Underground rapper making money with these rap tracks
Rap cash, I'm no dummy you could laugh at
Yeah I'm a killer, a gorilla, little King Kong
Breathing fire, Godzilla, everything's wrong
Madchild's on tour, crushing every city
I'm on some real life shit, nothing's ever pretty
Fuck a mainstream rapper, that's my hash tag
Chop him into pieces and I stuff him in a trash bag
Wish that I could say that I was living lavish laughing
All that I can say is I will give a savage thrashing
And you don't want to fuck with Mad 'cause I'm a martyr
Battleaxe Warrior and this is fucking Sparta
Crazy fucking cannibal, I'm not the one to laugh at
Innovator with the generator in my backpack
Viper with the mic, I'm hyperventilating daily
Psychos with the rifle and a knife, this shit is daily
Haoles in Hawaii smash your heads with ukuleles
Crazy Irish monsters that will bash you with shillelaghs
I'm a (monster)
Yeah, yeah, I'm a monster
Yeah, I'm a monster
I'm the little monster
I do backpack rap, I got money in my backpack
Underground rapper making money off these rap tracks
Rap cash, I'm no dummy you can laugh at
Backpack, ain't nobody but me in my rap class
Backpack, I got money in this backpack
Underground rapper making money off these rap tracks
Rap cash, I'm no dummy you could laugh at
Backpack, ain't nobody but me in my rap class
Yo it's a distorted portrait of assorted moral warping
Morphing from a corporate orphan to a fucking headless horseman
Acrobatic jack o' lantern firing like a spaceman
Wearing Bathing Ape but I'm on Planet of the Apes, damn
I'm fucking hungry, got a high metabolism
Mannerism of an angry man that's doing vandalism
Wish that I could say my life's entirety fantastic
But my environment is still like Ironman on acid
When I was doing dope was a lying a little bastard
But now I'm back a dragon breathing fire on my master
I'm a monster, I drink a can of Monster which give me magic powers
Then I do a fucking concert (monster)
Inebriated Libra, I am not what you expected
Abbreviated breathing through a deviated septum
I don't rap for media with beady little pupils
I rap for deviants that do graffiti in their group homes
I'm a (monster)
Yeah, yeah, I'm a monster
Yeah, I'm a monster (yeah, I'm the little)
I'm the little monster
I do backpack rap, I got money this my backpack
Underground rapper, I make money off these rap tracks
Rap cash, I'm no dummy you can laugh at
Backpack, ain't nobody but me in my rap class
Backpack, I got money in this backpack
Underground rapper making money off these rap tracks
Rap cash, I'm no dummy you could laugh at
Backpack, ain't nobody but me in my rap class
