Born in Inglewood, California, #BrianWilson formed the band—then called the Pendletones—as a teenager with his brothers Dennis & Carl, their cousin Mike Love, & high school friend Al Jardine. Their first song, “Surfin’,” was released by Candix Records, who changed the band’s name to the #BeachBoys without the members’ permission.#music #art #genius

A year later, the band signed with Capitol to release its debut, Surfin’ Safari; the following year, “Surfin’ U.S.A.” became the #BeachBoys’ first U.S. Top 10 single. In 1963, the band released 3 albums: Surfin’ U.S.A., Surfer Girl, & Little Deuce Coupe. By then, #BrianWilson had started his career as a producer for other musicians. He worked with Jan & Dean, the Castellas, Donna Loren, Sharon Marie, & others.#music #art #genius

In 1964, #BrianWilson decided to stop touring with the #BeachBoys after experiencing a panic attack due to the band’s heavy schedule. He focused on his production, & in 1965 started work on the landmark experimental pop album #PetSounds. Wilson was the mastermind behind the Pet Sounds sessions, working alongside famed studio musicians the #WreckingCrew. At the time of its release, Pet Sounds was considered a relative commercial flop & critical failure [can you imagine?].#music #art #genius

In 2004, #PetSounds was inducted into the Library of Congress’ National Recording Registry due to its cultural, historical, & aesthetic significance.#BrianWilson planned a follow-up called #Smile, which he described as a “teenage symphony to God,” but it was scrapped after continual delays [Wilson released his version in 2004]. After the album’s cancellation in 1967, Wilson’s role in the band receded.#BeachBoys #music #art #genius

@Nonilex RIP. Although I’m a GenXer, always had a soft spot for the Beach Boys. My dad was a contemporary surfer and he played their music all the time when I was growing up.

In 1968, he entered a psychiatric hospital for treatment. In the years after the release of #PetSounds, #BrianWilson briefly owned & operated a health food store called the Radiant Radish. He continued to work w/the #BeachBoys while struggling w/drug & alcohol addiction in the ’70s.After a family intervention…, he became embroiled w/the controversial psychologist Eugene Landy. Their decades-long treatment later became the subject of a biographical film called Love & Mercy.#music #art #genius

The #BeachBoys enjoyed a brief resurgence after their 1977 album Love You, but Wilson’s health issues persisted. In 1982, Landy removed him from the band for intensive treatment & exercised increasing control over Wilson’s financial & creative endeavors, prompting #BrianWilson to release his debut solo album in 1988. In 1992, following legal action from Carl Wilson & other members of the Wilson family, Landy’s psychology license was revoked & received a restraining order from Wilson.#music #art

#BrianWilson eventually revisited #Smile, reworking the archived studio sessions with Darian Sahanaja to bring the once-scrapped project to a live concert. He released Brian Wilson: Presents Smile in 2004 to critical acclaim. He continued to release solo work in the 2000s. His last solo album was 2015’s No Pier Pressure, which featured contributions from Kacey Musgraves & Zooey Deschanel.#BeachBoys #music #art #genius
