Syd Barrett consists of Roger Keith.
Roger Keith (Syd) Barrett (born January 6, 1946 in Cambridge, England) was one of the founding members of the group Pink Floyd. Though his activity in rock music was short, he is considered quite influential and is cited by some as the first psych folk artist.
Pink Floyd (originally called "The Pink Floyd Sound" then later "The Pink Floyd") was formed in 1965; Syd Barrett named the band after two obscure bluesmen, Pink Anderson and Floyd Council.
While the band began by playing cover versions of American R&B songs (much in the same vein as contemporaries The Rolling Stones, The Yardbirds, and The Kinks), they carved out their own style of improvised rock and roll by 1966, which drew as much from improvised jazz as it did from British pop-rock, such as that championed by the Beatles. In that year, a new rock concert venue, the UFO, opened in London and quickly became a haven for British psychedelic music. Pink Floyd became their most popular attraction, and, after making appearances at the rival Roundhouse, became the most popular musical group of the so-called "London Underground" psychedelic music scene.
By the end of 1966, Pink Floyd had gained a reliable management team in Andrew King and Peter Jenner. The duo soon befriended American expatriate Joe Boyd, who was actively making a name for himself as one of the most important entrepreneurs on the British music scene. Boyd arranged a recording session for the group, which resulted in the single " Arnold Layne". King and Jenner took the single to the recording behemoth EMI, who offered the band a contract, under which they would be allowed to record an album. The band accepted. By the time the album was released, "Arnold Layne" had reached #21 on the British singles charts. A follow-up single, " See Emily Play", sold even better, peaking at #6.
