About Us

BustaBusker is an online talent show that aims to shake up music busking! We're searching for the best music buskers out there, and we're doing it live on the streets. Our team of talent scouts, with the help of the general public, will scour cities for the most talented busking musicians. When we find them, we'll give them a chance to shine.

Our mission is to discover and promote the best up-and-coming buskers from the UK and around the world.
