Career

Beginning in 1994, Hunter drummed with The Philosopher Kings as they performed in southern Ontario, and recorded with them on their debut self-titled album. The band was named Best new Group at the 1996 Juno Awards. Hunter served as the drummer for the band's second album, Famous, Rich and Beautiful, which was nominated for a Juno Award in 1999 as Best Pop Album; a single from the album, "You Don't Love Me", appeared on the RPM Top Singles chart in 1998. Hunter later left the band and was replaced by Denton Whited.

By 2006 Hunter was working as a teacher at Waterdown District High School located in Waterdown, Ontario, where he taught music production. He was director of the school's jazz band, which won the Music Canada competition that year. He has also taught English and performing arts.

In 2012 Hunter led a workshop at the MetalWorks International Drum Festival. In 2019 he continues to direct the jazz band; he also plays the drums as a session musician, and gives private drumming lessons.
