Editing Brandon Boyd (section)

==Early life==
Boyd graduated from [[Calabasas High School]]  in 1994 and attended [[Moorpark College]] for two years before committing to [[Incubus (band)|Incubus]]. Boyd grew up in Calabasas, California with Ricky Taylor who inspired him to write music. His parents, Priscilla "Dolly" Wiseman and Charles Boyd, both of whom had experience in [[entertainment]], with his father being a former [[Marlboro Man]], had nurtured his artistic side since he was a child.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.cnn.com/CNN/Programs/showbiz.today/music.ontheroad/0111/30.html | title=CNN Programs - Showbiz Today | website=[[CNN]] }}</ref> 

Boyd broke his nose twice; once getting an Easter egg to the face, and the other from being hit in the face with [[Alex Katunich|Dirk Lance]]'s bass during a show. He opted to let the injuries heal on their own, but they only worsened his breathing the older he became. He claims to have sung and breathed from one nostril up until having surgery to fix the issue in December 2019.<ref>{{Cite magazine |last=Martoccio |first=Angie |date=2024-02-06 |title=Incubus Revisit Their Past With 'Morning View XXIII' -- and the Future Looks Bright |url=https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-features/incubus-brandon-boyd-morning-view-tour-1234958323/ |access-date=2024-04-29 |magazine=Rolling Stone |language=en-US}}</ref>
