Originally from Heppenheim, West Germany, Busch emigrated to the United States in 1983 to work as a sound and light engineer with touring music bands, settling in New York City the following year, where he worked as a nightclub promoter.[1] From 1990 to 2000, he hosted a public access television show called New York, New Rock, showcasing artists and nonprofits.[1] He began volunteering with organizations in New York's LGBT community, and was given a "Volunteer of the Year" award in 2001 by the LGBT Community Center.[1]
In 2006, Busch released the documentary How Do I Look about the Harlem ball community, produced through his company Art From The Heart Films. The company has since produced other documentaries on other LGBT and disabled community art forms.[2] Some of his footage appeared in the documentary After Stonewall.[3]
