John Busse was born and raised in central new jersey, specifically Basking Ridge. From an early age he had an affinity for music, due to his guitar playing father and mother, who sang in various choirs. Known as Busse (pronounced Bus-ee) to his friends, as well as other monikers he has acquired, he began to play guitar as a hobby at the age of 9. It was not until he was 14 that he made a commitment to the instrument, but since then he has not looked back. His music is not a product of one genre but that of many. From Classic Rock and Blues, to Funk and Folk, Busse has been interested in it all at one point or another and it shows through his music. He has spent brief stints in several bands and projects, and currently plays bass for 2 local bands, Milan and the Sour Goat and Becoming the Ghost. He is always working on a project of some sort and always jamming, writing, or recording something.
