Besides the fact that Brandon has a stellarly unique and natural singing voice, and he has the talent of both poet, lyricist and artist. He and the rest of the Incubus family actually give a damn about the "big picture" which makes them and even more special gift to us ordinary earthings!
The Make Yourself Foundation is a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that funds various environmental causes and charities both locally and around the world.
The Foundation was created by the band Incubus.
The band funds the foundation by donating a portion of the proceeds generated from touring, record royalties, online auctions of Incubus concert tickets and memorabilia, and special events.
The band signed as a partner for the Stop Global Warming campaign at www.stopglobalwarming.org and Incubus remains in the TOP 10 of all 'virtual marchers.' In addition, the band made their entire 2007 world tour "carbon-neutral" friendly and neutralized the carbon waste from the buses, trucks and flights used on tour. Through MYF, they contributed funds to Carbon Neutral to plant news trees (thereby offsetting the carbon) and researched new fuel alternatives.
Singer Brandon Boyd sums up the bands feelings with the following comment: We are honored and grateful to be doing this, and we are certain that with the participation of everyone and our wonderfully supportive fans that we will succeed in this first of what will be many goals in the future. One person working diligently alone can do wonders, but many people working harmoniously together can accomplish worlds. Thank you.
