Born and reared in Smallville, Canada, Todd first garnered attention
with his band THE AGE OF ELECTRIC, who went on to attain Gold status as
well as being nominated for a Juno, Canada's Grammy. THE AGE OF ELECTRIC
worked with legendary producers such as Bob Rock (Metallica) and Gil
Norton (Foo Fighters). THE AGE OF ELECTRIC is still remembered as one of
Canada’s favorite alternative rock bands of the 90’s.
After THE AGE OF ELECTRIC Todd and brother, former AOE bass player, John
formed STATIC IN STEREO with youngest brother Ryan. STATIC IN STEREO’s
self titled album went on to receive critical acclaim and secured Todd’s
place as a fixture on the Canadian music scene.
In 2004 Todd released his first solo album GO TIME. A collection of
original songs influenced by the artists closest to Todd’s heart
including T-Rex, Bowie, MC5 and The Stooges, GO TIME is in a class of
its own, getting back to the heart of true Rock N’ Roll.
Todd
has appeared on albums by such artists as THE MATTHEW GOOD BAND, BIF
NAKED and THE NEVERENDING WHITE LIGHTS. He is respected as one of
Canada’s most dependable vocalists.
In the past (and present) Todd has delved into his other passion,
production and songwriting with other musicians. He has produced and
written with a number of artists and continues to share his knowledge of
all things musical with people he believes in.
In 2007 production projects brought Todd to Las Vegas where he came to
form what would grow to be Vegas' most beloved rock band THE SIN CITY
SINNERS with former Faster Pussycat guitarist, Brent Muscat. The Sinners
released their debut cd, Exile On Fremont Street, in early 2010 to much
acclaim (for more info. visit

In spring of 2010 Todd was asked to tour with former Guns N Roses legend
Slash in support of his solo album as bassist and backing vocalist. Todd
accepted the challenge and will be touring into 2011 around the world
with the guitar hero.
Todd divides his time between Slash and the Sinners as well as his other
projects. Never a dull moment.
