David Boyd is the Danish/American lead singer of the alternative rock band New Politics (band).
His mother is Swedish/Danish and his father is American; he was born and raised in Copenhagen. David was originally a breakdancer; starting as a street performer, he won contests and an award, and was a background dancer and appeared in commercials. He appeared in modern dance productions choreographed by Steen Koerner and in a post-apocalyptic dance version of Rudyard Kipling's The Jungle Book. With New Politics he is known for his exotic dancing on stage and even "creating" a dance move called "Boyding", which involves standing on one's head otherwise known as the headstand. He moved to Brooklyn, New York, with his bandmates in 2009.
It was announced in early March, 2017 that Boyd and his girlfriend, actress Christian Serratos, were expecting a child.
On May 14th, 2017 Christian shared a photo to his Instagram of his and her baby, a girl named Wolfgang.
