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.
