Busy was born as Bradford Keith Johnson, Junior. on March 22, 1984 in Washington, District of Columbia but grew up in Maryland.
After graduation from Gonzaga College High School, Brad attended the Rochester Institute of Technology and earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Packaging Science but had also minored in Marketing and his true passion, Music.
During high school and primarily in college, Brad began experimenting with creating beats and instrumentals. He started crafting beats for vocalists to utilize, but put a stronger focus on creating music that did not necessarily have to be accompanied by vocal talent. Inspired by a variety of styles from different artists including Steely Dan, Radiohead, Outkast, Incubus, A Tribe Called Quest, Timbaland, and Stevie Wonder, Busy’s music expresses his interest in the world around him.
In 2008, he released a track, "Light Curtain", on a compilation entitled New Worlds and has been working on full length projects since then, releasing his first European Parliament, M0ths recently in 2010.
He is also working on a collaboration project with Mono/Poly called Submerged.
