Being intrigued by these stars He later began practicing what he saw every saturday on tv which led him to start performing at the age (8) eight with a church group in liberty city called youth in action. After receiving big shouts and heavy applause from the crowds at church him and his group of young stars performed for Busta wanted to venture outside of the church life and see what the new world of hip hop was really all about. The early 90's began to come about which meant change everywhere including the music that Busta listened to. There was a group of nine guys out of New York that called themselves the "Wu Tang Clan", this group of poetic artist grasped Busta music interest not with the music they made but how they made it and presented it with style & real life situations.

Not only did it boost Busta 's Motivation but it let him know that his mom was paying attention to the creativity he was trying to cook up. As Time passed so did Busta's urge to make music, He started highschool and finally started playing sports. Though never leaving the world of music, and taking the role as a athlete Busta still stayed close to early morning cyphers that took place in the morning on the basketball court or in the lunch spill out during lunch time. Others new he played sports and a lot new him for his mannish lyrical mouth which made others amused and asked Busta to ghost write for them which landed him in a cypher with Ruff Ryders "JIN" who told the young star he should be making hits instead of touchdowns. 2002 Busta was Awarded a Scholarship to play college football his senior year of high school, but due to low HSCT scores his scholarship was revoked. Busta later moved Back home in November 2002 after an upsetting football dream disaster, early 2003 received his G.E.D. at Lindsay Hopkins Tech.

Taking a new scholarship offer by the University of Florida for Track & Field, Busta later told his track coach and other family members that he'd be putting sports down and picking music up. A lot disagreed , but his thought was music wont let me down like football and track. 2006 Busta met D Walk who was a great club promoter, he promoted so good that it landed him a job booking shows for Plies & Big Gates Records™. That also gave Busta an opportunity as a Recording Artist, he began being the show opener for Plies until the artist and his entourage got in trouble early 2007. Busta was very disappointed about what happened to plies, but knew he had to move on. Busta's next big break came with getting his music played on the radio which shocked not only him but peers who said it couldn't be done. Next Busta was asked to join the Hustlenomics Tour with Recording Artists Young Joc and Goriila Zoe. Seeing things picking up Busta was eager to get in front of a major records label and get signed, but that came with blood, sweat & tears. Busta & his Manager at the time were screwed out of $3,000 due dealing with a bad talent agent. Busta was shocked but that day he'd never forget as his 1st encounter with a scammer in the Entertainment Business. Seeking new management and sound Busta moved back to miami and was offered a Recording Art scholarship from Full Sail University by a talent scout. Busta took the offer and was a great standout in the orlando area were he released to projects JUST 4 YA'LL VOL. 1 & T.G.I.F (Thank God Im Fly). The (2) projects placed him in good standards with orlando natives and great respect from peers at home in miami and everywhere else. March 4, 2013 , he had his first child and named her "Sehven", which he defined her name as "Complete" which gave him motivation to release the highly anticipated project #TOOK4GRANTED. Today Busta is fearless in his approach to the entertainment world which is the reason no other artist will be able to recreate his sound, he spawned countless loosely associated acts with his energy and charisma. When asked what inspired him the most on his journey to become the great recording artist he is today , he answered "himself" followed by "he was took for granted". -Benjamin Beardwood EMAIL: _Email not available.
