Billy "Bushwalla" Galewood is a singer/songwriter from Cleveland, Ohio.

At the age of nine, Bushwalla entered a youth theater group called "Kids on Broadway". Ten years later Billy migrated to the Big Apple where he studied musical theater at the American Musical and Dramatic Academy. There he met Jason Mraz at a party and they subsequently became roomates, perfecting their skills by jamming and freestyle rapping for hours in their New York apartment. The two then moved from New York 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 album Waiting for My Rocket to Come.

Bushwalla eventually ended up in California where he continued to hone his eclectic, acoustic, hip hop sound. Known for his freestyle skills on the microphone, Bushwalla has toured extensively throughout the U.S., independently releasing his latest album Ghetto Blaster which features the likes of Spooner Oldham, Speechwriters LLC, Tristan Prettyman, and Mraz’s rhythm section.
