￼With a little coaxing from his mother, Rusk constructed his first composition at age 14. By age 24, Rusk had released over 3 albums and numerous digital singles via iTunes and 18 other digital distributers worldwide, including selling hundreds of tracks and distributing hundreds of albums in just months. While garnering attention from publications around the country, Rusk has been featured in Genesis Magazine out of NYC, Metro Weekly in Washington DC, the Park Record in Park City Utah, as well as interviews with KPCW Radio and Park City Television; the town where the Sundance Film Festival takes place.

At a young age, Rusk utilized his outlet of piano as a coping mechanism to deal with his diagnosis of Tourrette Syndrome, OCD, ADHD, Aspergers, and scoliosis, where rods and screws were fused into his spine. Never did Rusk consider his outlet of piano to become his passion and the rock of his salvation.

In addition to music and on a personal level, Rusk has several other passions, including spending time with family and his close network of lifelong friends. The 6 foot 5 composer also enjoys tennis golf, basketball, rock climbing, white water rafting, slalom skiing, wake-boarding and alpine skiing. As an avid traveler, Rusk has visited all states but Alaska and looks forward to where life takes him next.

Some of these work experiences extend from running student governments in High School and College, working as a counselor at adventure camps, working for fortune five hundred companies, and serving a United State Senator, as well as the office of the United States Surgeon General, at the federal department of Health and Human Services, in Washington DC. Currently Rusk is attending Simon Graduate School of Business in NY and plans to attend Berklee college of music in Boston Massachusetts following.
