David Byrne Children: Meet Malu Abeni Valentine Byrne – David Byrne is a Scottish-born singer, songwriter, record producer, actor, author, music theorist, visual artist and filmmaker.

He was a founding member of the American new wave band Talking Heads as well as their main songwriter, singer and guitarist.

Although Byrne grew up in the United States, he was a British citizen until he became a dual citizen of the United Kingdom and the United States in 2012. He currently lives in New York.

Byrne believes he has autism spectrum disorder, but it has not been professionally diagnosed. In an interview on Amy Schumer’s 3 Girls, 1 Keith podcast in 2020, he explained that his condition is a superpower because it allows him to focus on his creative pursuits.

Byrne had already learned guitar, accordion and violin before entering high school. He was kicked out of his middle school choir because he was too withdrawn and unconventional.

He had a strong interest in music from a young age. His parents claim that he began playing the gramophone at the age of three and learned to play the harmonica at the age of five.

David’s father used his electrical engineering skills to modify a reel-to-reel tape recorder so he could make multi-track recordings.

Byrne attended Lansdowne High School in southwest Baltimore County. He began his musical career in a high school band called Revelation, then as one half of the duo Bizadi with Marc Kehoe between 1971 and 1972.

His repertoire mainly consisted of songs like “April Showers”, “96 Tears”, “Dancing on the Ceiling” and songs by Frank Sinatra. Byrne dropped out of the Rhode Island School of Design and the Maryland Institute College of Art.

In 1973, he returned to Providence and founded Artistics with fellow student Chris Frantz, a student at RISD.

In 1974, the group broke up. Byrne moved to New York in May of this year, and Frantz and his girlfriend Tina Weymouth followed in September.

Weymouth learned to play bass guitar after Byrne and Frantz failed to find a bassist in New York for almost two years. In late 1974, they considered starting a band while working part-time.

By January 1975, they were training and playing together while continuing their regular jobs. They formed the band Talking Heads and played their first concert in June.

In May 1976, Byrne quit his job and the trio signed with Sire Records that November. Byrne was the youngest member of the group. Jerry Harrison, formerly of The Modern Lovers, joined the group in 1977 as a multi-instrumentalist.

The group enjoyed critical and commercial success with eight studio albums. Four albums have been certified gold (500,000 sales) and two others double platinum (2 million sales).

During his time in the band, David Byrne worked on side projects, including a collaboration with Brian Eno on the album My Life in the Bush of Ghosts, which received critical acclaim for its early use of analog sampling and found sounds.

After this release, Byrne focused on Talking Heads. In early 2006, My Life in the Bush of Ghosts was re-released with new bonus tracks to mark its 25th anniversary.

In keeping with the spirit of the original album, the stems of two of the song’s components were released under Creative Commons licenses and a website for a remix competition was launched.

Byrne collaborated with choreographer Twyla Tharp in 1981, composing music for her album The Catherine Wheel, for a ballet of the same name with unusual rhythms and lyrics. “The Catherine Wheel” was performed on Broadway that same year.
