Timeline

1951

Todd Stuart Hunter (born 22 June 1951) is a New Zealand musician and composer known for his involvement in the band Dragon.

Their best known songs are "April Sun in Cuba", "Are You Old Enough?", "Still in Love With You", and "Rain".

1972

Hunter (bass guitar, vocals) formed Dragon in 1972 with Graeme Collins (piano, vocals), Neil Storey (drums) and Ray Goodwin (guitar, keyboards, vocals); the group was soon joined by Hunter's younger brother Marc Hunter (vocals) and moved to Australia in 1975.

The band toured Australasia, America and Europe and their songs from that time, "April Sun in Cuba", "Are You Old Enough?"

and "Still in Love With You" are still played on radio.

1975

Hunter's first wife was poet, artist, writer Jen Jewel Brown (aka Jennifer Hunter Brown) who had written Million Dollar Riff (1975) a book describing Australian band Skyhooks prior to their first tour of US.

1978

Hunter and Brown co-wrote "Politics" and "Company" for Dragon's album O Zambezi (1978).

1979

Brown introduced Hunter to violinist Richard Lee who then played violin on "Civilization" for O Zambezi as a session musician before joining Dragon in February 1979.

Follow up album Power Play (1979) had disappointing sales by comparison, and despite Dragon having sold over a million records in the 1970s, they first broke up on New Year's Eve of 1979.

After the first demise of Dragon, Hunter became a record producer for bands including the New Zealand punk group Toy Love.

He produced two albums for XL Capris, a Sydney-based punk band, which included vocalist & bass guitarist Johanna Pigott.

1980

After selling another million records worldwide in the 1980s Dragon disbanded again in 1995.

1981

She and Hunter became domestic partners and in 1981 he joined the band as guitar player.

1982

When that group disbanded in 1982, Hunter joined Pigott in her next group, Scribble from 1983 to 1986.

When Dragon reformed in 1982, Hunter and Pigott co-wrote the song "Rain", which went to #2 in 1983.

Around this time Hunter (usually with Pigott) became involved with film and TV scoring and found that he was far more suited to the discipline of working in a studio to a deadline than playing in a live band.

1984

Pigott (co-creator, screenwriter and performer) and Hunter (guitarist and songwriter) were involved in Australian ABC-TV series Sweet and Sour (1984).

Hunter's first wife, Jen Brown also wrote "Hip Romeo" for Sweet and Sour.

1986

Nevertheless, Dragon toured Europe with Tina Turner in 1986–1987 promoting the Dreams of Ordinary Men album produced by Todd Rundgren.

At that time the band consisted of Marc Hunter (lead vocal), Hunter on bass, guitar player Tommy Emmanuel, Alan Mansfield from Robert Palmer's band on keyboards and Doane Perry from Jethro Tull on drums.

On that tour Hunter hauled a large road case containing a portable studio through Europe and on it he wrote and recorded the scores for many imaginary movies.

It was on that same Box that the Dragon hit single "Celebration" was recorded in hotel rooms around the world with David Hirschfelder producing.

1987

In 1987 while on tour (Dragon was briefly called Hunter) with Turner, John Farnham asked Hunter and Pigott to write a song for his next album.

1989

They wrote "Age of Reason", which went to #1 in Australia for four weeks from 30 July and was a top 10 hit in Germany and Canada in 1989.

"Age of Reason" won the APRA 'Most Performed Australasian Popular Song' of the year award for 1989.

1991

Hunter also composed John Farnham's hit song "Age of Reason" with Johanna Pigott and music for film Daydream Believer (1991) and TV series Heartbreak High (1994–1999).

Hunter and Pigott composed music for the film The Girl Who Came Late, also known as Daydream Believer (1991), and Alex Aka Alex: The Spirit of a Champion (1993).

"Alex (theme)" aka "Aotearoa" was written by Hunter and "For the Rest of My Life" by Hunter and Pigott.

1994

From 1994 to 1999 Hunter was the composer for the hit TV Series Heartbreak High and wrote and recorded the 7500 cues that underscored the series.

The theme song was nominated for 1994 APRA Television Theme of the Year.

Other TV series Hunter worked on included Headstart and Out There.

Dragon were inducted into the ARIA Hall of Fame on 1 July 2008, Hunter stated that they had switched from acoustic performances to fully electric because fans were singing so loud the band could not be heard.
