The idea of More Than Music brought Chris and Thibault together to engage musicians, artists, and those who surround them to talk about how their pursuits have affected the rest of their lives. The often overlook reality is that dedicating oneself to ones art is not all about the euphoric moments of creation and expression. It requires a commitment that can take precedence over almost everything else in your life, resulting in lost relationships, financial hardships, alcohol and drug addictions, a strong sense of isolation and so much more. The pursuit of art and the idea of suffering for it are traits that go against what society portraits as important to life. There are dangers, pitfalls, and unhealthy patterns that can come in living an inspired and dedicated life to the arts. More than music is a podcast that engages our guests into a reflection of how they navigate themselves to try and find harmony, balance and more importantly what they do to maintain it.

Jono Hunter is a filmmaker, musician, artist, writer, record label head honcho and all round super talented person. He hails from the East Coast of Canada and lived in Toronto for many years when he and his bandmates in Horses moved there and recently he has been living in LA but that may be coming to an end. He has played in multiple bands, including some of my favourite bands, period, Atlas, Horses, Attention, Threes, Found Objects, Downers, supporting Malcolm Bauld, Greg Macpherson, and I’m sure a ton more.
He has filmed numerous music videos for his own and his friends bands going back over a decade, and runs a record label called Must Be Nice that puts out his and his friends records. He has created so many tour and show posters.
He released an award winning, well-received feature film called Modern Classic, as well as numerous award winning shorts that he wrote or co-wrote, directed, and acted in. He wrote, voiced and animated a short series called Night Drives. He released a graphic novel called Visitors. Maybe later in the episode we’ll talk a bit about Hoaxes… And if we don’t, look it up.
But to pay the bills, he is a very in demand creator and director for commercials for major brands and has representation all over the world.
