Brandon Boyd Wants to Never Stop Learning.
The singer, artist and writer is dressed in a white T-shirt under his open shirt and is shod in beat-up Chuck Taylors. His casual wardrobe choices recall a time when artists became celebritiesBoyd's house is close enough to the ocean that the heat meeting the sea air creates a gentle breeze, revitalizing his artistic energy. Inside his sparsely furnished modern home, Boyd has an impressive assortment of books on his desk.
“I wish I could go back to school for ten years," he says."I can identify wholeheartedly with the notion of being a student, but see how I could be perceived as teacher. I am fascinated every single day because there are things that I know, but I’m also painfully aware of the gaps in my knowledge. I would need 10 lifetimes to try and fill those gaps.”
Incubus started in the Los Angeles suburb of Calabasas in 1991 when several high school friends got together to form a band. A raw, shot that same year in Boyd’s parents' backyard, captures the rocker's beginnings and remains a must-see for any Incubus fan. Two years after that home movie was shot, the band began playing the club circuit around Los Angeles and later landed early tours opening for 311, System of a Down and Sugar Ray.
“After 32 years together, I think there was a great deal of luck, a healthy dose of tenacity, good timing, good fortune, a lot of practice and maybe a little fate involved," he says. “Everything has limits naturally, and we are operating on a no-limits loop," Boyd says."If we are not conscientious of what we are doing, we are going to make this place uninhabitable. What should we do? I don’t know, I don’t have the answers, but simply slowing consumption a little, or a lot, would help. It’s difficult.” “I am fascinated by the way culture – and cultures – unfold," he says.
With over 19 million albums sold worldwide, and many other successful artistic endeavors under his belt, Boyd’s thoughts and hopes for the future are positively focused on relationships, family and personal growth.
