David Byrne is primarily known as the musician who co-founded the group Talking Heads (1976-88) 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.
During his time with the group, Byrne was involved with several other diverse projects, ranging from musical collaborations to directing films and music videos. After the demise of the Talking Heads, he founded his own record label, Luaka Bop, using it as an outlet for his own and other artists' music.
Somewhere around 2002 Talking Heads were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. About a year later, in 2003, Talking Heads released a lovely boxed set which includes a DVD of all the band's videos.
