Jim Boyd got his big start in the music industry when he joined the legendary Indian band XIT in the 1970s.

Since then, he's enjoyed popularity on his own, including a 2002 winning record of the year at the 2002 Native American Music Awards for "alterNATIVES." He tells the Associated Press: "I am a low self-esteem guy from `the rez' who is surprised that people relate to what I am saying."

Boyd is a member of the Colville Tribes of Washington. He owns a record label, Thunderwolf Records, and is recording a new album.
