It all started improvising songs in my basement. I was just singing and lyricizing while my best friend played the guitar. After a while I picked up guitar and added a new element to the songwriting that I had been pursuing in the years prior. I'd like to think that I have an eclectic taste in music. I'm not trying to fit into any genre and I'm not trying to make my own, I'm just being me and doing what I do. There are two very good reasons that I got into this music-making thing, and their names are Matt Marcoccia and Fred Chammas; my best friend and my older brother. I'm convinced that without them, none of this would have been possible. This all started as a hobby, I love writing songs, but I also love the rush I get from playing shows. Music's fun to make and play but sharing it with other people besides yourself brings it to a whole new level and I'd like to keep on doing that. I just finished my first EP, nothing too crazy, just a few tracks to really show my stuff as a songwriter. It was released in July 2008. I'm in way over my head, but I am loving every minute of it. The reason I'm pursuing this at the level I am now is my best friend and manager Mansoor Khan, someone who has had nothing but faith in me over the last few months and it's part of the reason that I'm at where I am now...and I plan on staying here...at least for a little while.

Jason Mraz came out and sang "Somewhere Over The Rainbow" while Bushwalla juggled while we were waiting in line in Richmond. He stopped right in front of us!
