Buschberger grew up in Sankt Martin im Mühlkreis in Upper Austria and began playing the piano at the age of 5 and switched to the electric guitar at the age of 11 , which he said he did through a live video from the hard rock band AC / DC and the appearance was inspired by lead guitarist Angus Young .

In 2017 Buschberger played in a Kennedy concert in London's Royal Albert Hall with u. a. Robert Plant and Jean-Luc Ponty . During this gig he played the Led Zeppelin classic Kashmir with Plant and Kennedy , which Plant had never sung without Jimmy Pages before.
