About Todd

Since the age of nine Todd has been passionate about his music and at the age of 12 commenced his love for acting. He hasn't missed a beat since.

Weekends and holidays are more often than not spent in acting workshops and performing. Along with weekly music, acting, singing and dance lessons, American accent training and recording.......Todd sees the light at the end of the tunnel with securing more and more opportunities each year.

At thirteen he made the Channel Nine News when he was booked for twenty three professional engagements over the Christmas/New Year period. He also formed a four piece jazz band in which he played his favourite instrument, the saxophone.

He has come a long way since then, featuring as a supporting artist and more recently as a performer in his own right with his dynamic cabaret-style show.

The film clips from two of Todd's original instrumental songs have been broadcast on Optus Vision Pay TV.

Todd has played centre stage at many of South East Queensland's top venues including the International Showroom at Conrad Jupiters. Performing at numerous outdoor concerts and festivals including Noosa, Toowoomba, Kingaroy, Pine Rivers, XXXX Ocean Beach and the Wintersun festivals, and in 1998 toured LA and Disneyland.

In late January 2000 Todd left Australia for ten months taking his music to the world, playing close to one hundred times through Asia, the Arab countries, Europe, England and America. His bookings included four and five star hotels and resorts, jazz clubs, festivals, and fabulous Mediterranean beachfront restaurants.

Todd said about his year 2000 world tour; "I had the most amazing time. One week we would be staying at five star international resorts being treated like royalty, then backpacking and playing in restaurants and festivals. It was awesome".
