Following the only trial jam session, DJ Lyfe joined the band and added yet another dimension to Incubus' already energetic and rhythmic sound. In 1995, after seeing Incubus play at a party, hip-hop rapper DJ Lyfe (Gavin Koppel) approached the band about incorporating some of his tracks into their music. The band played parties, all-age clubs and even the Roxy on Hollywood's Sunset Strip. Making use of their surroundings, Incubus began promoting themselves in and around L.A. However, it wasn't until the 10th grade, when the trio met their bassist, Alex Katunich, that they decided to form a band.ĭespite their age, the band wasted no time getting their music heard.

In middle school, the two friends and future musicians met their guitarist Mike Einziger. Lead singer and percussionist Brandon Boyd met drummer Jose Pasillas in elementary school. Brought together as youths in Calabasas, Calif., the founding members of the newest free-form funk band began their groove in high school. The fusion-generated funk of Incubus finds its release in the combination of five young creative forces.
