DAVID BYRNE
David Byrne (born 14 May 1952) is a Scottish-born American musician who was the founding member, principal songwriter, and lead singer and guitarist of the American new wave band Talking Heads, active between 1975 and 1991. Since then, Byrne has released his own solo recordings and worked with various media including film, photography, opera, fiction and non-fiction. He has received an Oscar, Grammy, and Golden Globe awards and been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Byrne is a multi-instrumentalist and is well known for his distinctive voice.

Another example is Talking Heads; I dare say that some of their casual fans didn’t realize that Tina Weymouth (bass guitar and backing vocals) was playing alongside David Byrne (lead vocalist and guitar), Chris Frantz (drums and backing vocals), and Jerry Harrison (keyboards, guitar and backing vocals). I have always thought that David Byrne looks more like he should be an accountant than anyone else I know of in rock music.
