R. Boyd
SPB: Is there a particular album or artist that inspired you to start writing your own music when you were younger?
Boyd: No particular album or artist but I was really into ‘90s grunge when that hit. My neighbor who had learned to play guitar showed me some chords and really inspired me. He definitely played some Nirvana on his acoustic guitar...also some of his own songs--he was in a band.
Songwriting was such a mystery to me at that time and I really wanted to understand it better. I'm still trying. He just revealed a little bit of the mystery to me with basic chords and his own style. I was hooked.
