About B. Boyd
In the artist’s words:
Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail.
As a kid, my friends and I would sit in a big circle at recess and my most musical friends would serenade us via guitar. I always thought they were so cool and talented.
What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular?
Fort Minor, The Rising Tied
Skrillex, Bangarang - EP
The Front Bottoms, Talon of the Hawk
Each of these albums has kept me coming back, year after year, and still loving every track. The Rising Tied in particular was the first hip hop album that got me hooked on the genre, showing how it can be catchy & make a statement at the same time.

“Cage”
I wrote this entire song on one lunch break at work, in my work notebook (amidst ample doodles), the same day that Meteora 20th Anniversary Ed came out. That was the day that I realized I actually DO understand music theory: just channel Linkin Park.
What’s one of the most memorable moments in your career so far?
When I released Going Nowhere (still under The Mockery & The Method), someone I had never met approached me and told me how much he liked the song. I was so dumbfounded that someone might actually like my music that I responded with, "Really?"
Is there anything left on your bucket list as an artist or band?
Well, I haven't released my first album yet, so that's first on the docket. It would be amazing to hear my friends singing along to my songs. If I'm dreaming big, then selling out a show at Red Rocks is the ultimate bucket list item.
