With his band Talking Heads, David Byrne helped define the art rock genre for the 1970s and '80s, in part because of his eccentricities as a frontman. With his oversized suits, experimental vocals, oddball dancing and sometimes difficult attitude, he's one of a kind.

He's branched out well beyond music, working in epistemology, writing, bicycle design, podcasting and, most recently, on Broadway. The Scotland-born singer clearly has a wide array of interests. His TED Talk about shape, space and creativity also touches on West African music, Bach and birds.

Is it possible to get to the center of this multilayered artist? It helps to know his background. Here's the untold truth of David Byrne.
