He was raise on the music of the South (Gospel, Country, Bluegrass, Blues, and Southern Rock) and influenced primarily from his musical family.

After moving to Los Angeles, Buck soon began to perform and record as a vocalist/keyboardist with the following artists:

As a songwriter Buck has written with many of the top songwriters in L.A. and Nashville: Charlie Midnight (James Brown, Joe Cocker, Hillary Duff), Jame Dean Hicks (Blake Shelton, Oak Ridge Boys, Conway Twitty), Jamie Houston (Jessica Simpson, High School Musical).
