== History ==
Stephen Kozmeniuk (born 1982) grew up in Whitehorse, Yukon, and has played guitar since age 14.〔LeBlanc, Larry (September 11, 2004). "Northern 'Boy' Wonder", ''Billboard'' 116 (37): 43–46.

Retrieved June 9, 2010.〕 In 2002, ''The Globe and Mail'' described Boy's music as "art rock with a Brit twist, combined with an ultracool, laid-back attitude".〔Gill, Alexandra (May 13, 2002).

R3.〕 Boy toured nationally in support of its self-titled release in 2003, opening for artists such as Sam Roberts, 54-40 and Broken Social Scene.
