, Busbee said he started out in the jazz world — studying he genre at William Paterson University in Wayne, New Jersey — before switching to country.Busbee made the switch to country on the recommendation of a fellow songwriter, but also wound up working with a slew of pop artists, including Kelly Clarkson, Pink, Shakira and Christina Aguilera.
"When I made jazz, it was like, 'Here's a canvas, it’s 20 feet by 20 feet, you can use any brush, any kind of paint, any color, anything — even not paint!'" he said. "With country and pop, it's like, 'Here's one brush, one color, and a six inch by six inch canvas: make me feel something.' I love the challenge of doing that." Busbee also marveled at being able to work his dream job.
This just doesn’t seem fair. I will always love you and the songs and albums I was lucky to make with you, Busbee. Rest well, my sweet friend.
