Scotland native David Byrne, who attended the Rhode Island School of Design and Maryland Institute College of Art, is well known as the musician who co-founded the group Talking Heads in New York.



On record and in concert, the band was acclaimed by critics and audiences alike; more importantly, however, they have proven to be extremely influential. Talking Heads took popular music in new directions, both in terms of sound and lyrics, and also introduced an innovative visual approach to the genre. In 2002, Talking Heads were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. In 2003, Talking Heads released a lovely boxed set which includes a DVD of all the band's videos. In 2005, a Brick was released with the complete studio catalog on dual disc with previously unreleased audio and video material.
