Buckethead, is a virtuoso guitarist and multi-instrumentalist who has worked within several genres of music. He has released 325 studio albums, five DVD’s, four special releases, three music videos, and one EP.

Buckethead is famously known for wearing an expressionless plain white mask on his face, and a bucket on his head.

Although a multi-instrumentalist (playing bass guitar, banjo, keyboards, ukulele, organ, violin, clarinet, saxophone, recorder, drums, gong, and piano), Buckethead is best known for his electric guitar playing, characterized by diverse playing styles spanning thrash guitar, fingerpicking, and slap guitar. Guitar One voted him number 8 on a list of the “Top 10 Greatest Guitar Shredders of All Time”. Buckethead makes extreme use of tritones in his music which sound dissonant and give the impression of robotic and unnatural sounds.

Although Buckethead now works primarily as a solo artist touring the United States solo or with a trio, he has had a wide variety of high profile collaborations with such artists as Les Claypool, Tony Williams, Bootsy Collins, Bernie Worrell, Iggy Pop, Serj Tankian, Guns N’ Roses, Saul Williams, Mike Patton, Viggo Mortensen and with Bill Laswell on Praxis.

Buckethead also has a career writing and performing music for major motion pictures. Some of the films he has worked on include: Saw II, Ghosts of Mars, Beverly Hills Ninja, Mortal Kombat, Last Action Hero and the soundtrack of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie.
