Brandon Boyd
Brandon Boyd is a multi-talented musician, author, visual artist, and the lead vocalist for the wide-ranging American rock group Incubus. Combining elements of heavy metal, funk, jazz, hip-hop, techno, post-grunge, and alternative rock, the band found mainstream success in 1999 with the multi-platinum selling Make Yourself. Boyd's unique voice, sensitive demeanor, and inquisitive nature helped set him apart from his contemporaries, and subsequent efforts Morning View (2001), A Crow Left of the Murder... (2004), and Light Grenades (2006) helped push the group to the fore of the new millennium alternative metal scene.
In 2010, Boyd issued his debut solo effort, The Wild Trapeze, which utilized a rough-hewn mix of styles and a vast arsenal of instruments. The LP debuted at number 33 on the Billboard 200. Incubus went on hiatus after the release of 2011's If Not Now, When?, allowing Boyd to chart a new course with producer Brendan O'Brien under the moniker Sons of the Sea and release an eponymous album in 2013. Incubus reconvened in 2015 and issued the four-song EP Trust Fall (Side A), with the full-length 8 arriving two years later. Trust Fall (Side B) appeared in 2020, and in 2022 Boyd released his sophomore solo outing, Echoes & Cocoons, which saw him collaborating with producer John Congleton. In addition to his musical output, Boyd has found success in the art world, mounting multiple exhibits of his paintings, which serve to aid his environmental activism. He has also written and published three books (White Fluffy Clouds [2003], From the Murks of the Sultry Abyss [2007], and So the Echo [2013]), which feature illustrations, song lyrics, essays, and photography.
