Famous for

He grew up in Calabasas, California. His parents Dolly and Charles, both of whom had experience in entertainment, had nurtured his artistic side since he was a child. He had first met Jose Pasillas in elementary school in the 1980s, but it was not until high school that he was asked to join a band that already included Pasillas, Mike Einziger, and Alex Katunich. Boyd's vocal abilities, which were for the most part self-taught (he had taken two lessons before he ran out of money, but he claims he learned everything he would need), proved to be the final essential element for the band. As they developed more and more songs, the band quickly became a popular show around the neighborhood.
