Biography

Cleveland, United States

Billy “Bushwalla” Galewood is an American singer, songwriter and rapper from Cleveland, OH. He frequently performs and tours with his roommate, Atlantic recording artist Jason Mraz.

At the age of nine, Bushwalla entered a youth theater group called “Kids on Broadway.” He migrated to New York City ten years later, where he studied musical theater at the American Musical and Dramatic Academy. There he met Jason Mraz at a party; they later became roommates and moved to Mraz’s native Virginia, where they performed together as often as they could. Among their collaborations is “Curbside Prophet,” a track from Mraz’s debut album Waiting for My Rocket to Come

Bushwalla eventually ended up in California, where he continued to hone his eclectic acoustic/hip-hop sound. He is best known for his freestyle skills on the microphone and has toured extensively throughout the U.S. He has independently released three albums: Ghetto Blaster, Autodidactical Freestyle And Radical (2008), and The Old Street EP (2009).

Bushwalla and Mraz still play semi-regularly at small, often unadvertised shows at local California clubs. Video evidence can be found at UncleCrispy.com.

    Bushwalla is amazing! i love all of his music, my personal favorite is 1982 blues. He is friends with this band, The Makepeace Brothers. They are so amazing, they are my favorite!

    It's weirdly difficult to find, but he's probably about the same age as Jason, who is 32.
