The young talent rose to prominence after her performances became popular on YouTube in 2019, one of which included her rendition of 'In Bloom,' a song by Grohl's previous band Nirvana.
Amid the pandemic, she posted another video of her taking on 'Everlong' along with a drum-off challenge aimed directly at her musical hero. The video reached Grohl through his friends, who got excited about seeing someone challenging him to a drum-off.
"So I'm like, 'Isn't that nice?' I kind of brush it off. But all my friends tell me, 'No dude, you have to step up. This is the real deal. This is a drum-off," he told the crowd at The Forum.
Bushell and Grohl eventually faced each other in an epic online drum challenge, which ended with the younger one winning over the famed drummer.
Afterward, the Grammy Award-winning singer dedicated a song to Bushell, writing about her and her musical gifts, in September 2020. He also surprised her and invited her to play with the band on stage.
