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. Boyd issued his debut solo effort, The Wild Trapeze, in 2010, followed in 2022 by Echoes & Cocoons.
