My Take
Brandon Boyd is best known to me as the voice of Incubus, that distinctive instrument carrying eight studio albums of a band that always felt restless about genre. What I find more telling is everything around the singing: he's also a painter, a percussionist, and a published author with White Fluffy Clouds. The solo records under his own name and the Sons of the Sea project with Brendan O'Brien confirm someone who treats music as one outlet among several. That kind of multidisciplinary appetite, song and paint and prose, reads to me as a genuine artist's temperament rather than a frontman padding a resume.
