Brandon Charles Boyd (born February 15, 1976) is an American singer, songwriter, musician, author, and visual artist. He is best known as the lead vocalist of the American rock band Incubus. ==Early life and Incubus== Boyd graduated from Calabasas High School in 1994 and attended Moorpark College for two years before committing to Incubus. Brandon grew up in Calabasas, CA with Ricky Taylor who inspired him to write music. His parents, Priscilla "Dolly" Wiseman and Charles Boyd, both of whom had experience in entertainment, had nurtured his artistic side since he was a child.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Charles Boyd )〕 Other musical family members include his younger brother, Jason Boyd, the former lead singer of the band Audiovent, cousin Sam Boyd, a songwriter and touring musician, as well as cousin (Berto Boyd ), an accomplished Flamenco guitarist. In an interview, Brandon explained that he had "yet to stumble across his best work" because he lacked the ability to read music. Boyd designed concert fliers advertising their early performances. At first, Boyd had copied several drawings from a sex education book that Einziger's mother had given them, but he decided to stop using it after several prospective fans had been confused by their fliers ("What kind of band is this?"). They eventually started to receive complaints and kids would see the fliers and ask "What kind of band are you?" So the band had to retreat back to using their own artwork. He is known for having some guitar parts during live performances. His voice was part of what enticed Sony's Epic/Immortal Records, and the band was signed in 1996. The band's first two releases on the label, ''Enjoy Incubus'' and ''S.C.I.E.N.C.E.'' went largely unnoticed, but subsequent releases ''Make Yourself'' and ''Morning View'' were commercial successes. The band's 2004 release ''A Crow Left of the Murder...'' has continued their success, nominating the band for Best Hard Rock Performance in the 2005 Grammy Awards. On November 28, 2006, the band released ''Light Grenades''. On June 16, 2009, Incubus released a greatest hits album titled ''Monuments and Melodies''. In 2011 Incubus finished their seventh studio album ''If Not Now, When?'', which was released on July 12, 2011, followed then by a tour. On December 13, 2014 they performed their upcoming single entitled "Trust Fall" at KROQ. They announced the release of two EP's in 2015 with the first, ''Trust Fall'', scheduled for March 24, 2015. On February 5, 2015, the single "Absolution Calling" was released. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Brandon Boyd」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
