Brandon Boyd is a musician, visual artist, songwriter and author. His works on visual arts and book writing are not what he is famous for, but his abilities as a composer and musician are central to his celebrity status. Boyd was the frontman of the rock band known as Incubus. Born in Van Nuys on February 15, 1976 and raised in Calabasas, California, Brandon Charles Boyd’s parents supported his early musical aspirations. One of the reasons his parents – Charles Boyd and Priscilla Wiseman – were so supportive of his obvious talent, even as a toddler, was because they were no strangers to the entertainment industry.
The family had ties to the industry as his younger brother, Jason Boyd, was the former vocalist of the music group Audiovent and his cousin, Berto Boyd, was a musician who played the flamenco guitar to perfection and was also a talented music composer. Musical talent wasn’t enough for the family as there was someone on the athletic side and it was his cousin Sam Boyd who was a professional motocross racer. Brandon also has another brother, Darren Boyd.
Besides his family, another strong influence Boyd had in his childhood his friendship with Ricky Taylor who also inspired him musically. After graduation, he attended Calabasas High School and graduated in 1994. It was in high school that Boyd founded the rock band Incubus with two of his friends (Jose Pasillas who played drums and Mike Einziger, who played guitar). guitar). in 1991. After high school he enrolled at Moorpark University but dropped out after his second year to focus on his music as he was heavily involved in his band Incubus at the time.
Brandon Boyd’s musical career with Incubus
The Incubus had additional members who moved from a three-man band to a five-man rock band. Boyd, Pasillas and Einziger were later joined by bassist Alex Katunich and Gavin Koppell (a DJ whose main role is DJ Lyfe). They held concerts and shows, where they had their first performances, and Boyd’s artistry was on full display, even then, as he designed the tracts himself. He also had the ability to introduce rare instrumentals into the band’s music.
Their first album titled Mushroom Among Us was released in 1995 and it went unnoticed. Their second release – SCIENCE. (1997) would also suffer the same fate as the first. DJ Chris Kilmore replaced DJ Lyfe in the band and it’s like he (DJ Kilmore) brought some shine to the band as their next effort in 1999 gave them a major break. Their third effort (album) Build It Up was a commercial success and the music industry took notice. With that, it seemed like a door had been opened for them and their later releases ( Morning View (2001) and A Crow Left of Murder… (2004)) continued to impress the charts.
In 2006, Incubus released a sixth studio album, Grenades Légères, which peaked at No. 1 and as if they weren’t finished yet, 2009 saw their successful debut album release Monuments et Mélodies.
