做为Paul Gilbert学生的他，从90年代初期就开始了个人吉他音乐的探索，录制了大量的个人专集。并担任过Praxis和Primus乐队的吉他手。但Buckethead始终保持低调，他没有更多的追随者。 Buckethead的音乐风格中，有许多让人不可思议，让人费解的感觉。他将电子乐，吉他噪音，独特的创意，融合到一起。时而演奏起风一般的速度，时而又变化成如水般的RIFF。一切安排都非常巧妙，非常的艺术化。 Population Override is the twelfth studio album by Buckethead, but it could be seen as his first full collaboration with keyboardist Travis Dickerson. The album is a tribute to the "great vinyl records of the '60s and '70s", with songs more often than not drifting off into long jams. The album was written after the sessions for the album "Brain Circus", by Cornbugs, which features Buckethead, Bill "Choptop" Moseley, Pinchface and Travis Dickerson. This album was the start of other albums like Gorgone, Chicken Noodles, and Left Hanging. The cover shows several buildings from downtown Toronto, including the Royal York Hotel and the Canada Trust Tower.
