David Byrne

David Byrne’s career is nothing less than extraordinary. He’s the lead singer and frontman of the Talking Heads. But, Byrne is also a solo artist in his own right. The Scottish singer has recorded instrumental electronic albums, pop records and even spoken word. He’s collaborated with Brian Eno, St. Vincent, Philip Glass, Selena and so many more. His talents never run dry. He’s written books and scored soundtracks. He even wrote and directed his own movie back in 1986: it’s called True Stories. American Utopia is his latest project. It started as an album in 2018 then he toured on it with a handful of dates across the US. Byrne parlayed the tour into a full on Broadway production that premiered in 2019. Then, American Utopia’s live show became a movie directed by the one and only Spike Lee. When we talked to Byrne back in 2021, he’d just brought American Utopia back to Broadway. On Bullseye, we talk with Byrne about his time with the Talking Heads. Plus, he gets into American Utopia, his weirdly cool dance moves, and the power behind his art.
