Todd Herzog – Artist Profile
a study in alchemy…
al..my: the power to transform something base into something precious.
Todd Herzog is an artist who takes the raw material of life experiences and creates soulful, spiritual and inspirational pop music that impacts his listeners. The music is not intended solely as entertainment but also to promote healing and change in people’s lives. His songs invite us to slow down and take a closer look at how the simple choices we make each day affect the shape of our journeys. His latest album, Proverbs, takes quotes from the Bible and other philosophical texts and puts them into a modern context, bringing religion and spirituality together.
Herzog’s own wake-up call came when a dear friend passed away from Leukemia. Instead of losing faith in life, he chose to take this tragic loss and use it to motivate and inspire others to take full advantage of the time they are given. His healing process took the form of his debut album entitled “What I Wouldn’t Give.” According to Jennifer Layton of Indie-music.com, the CD “bursts with strong passionate vocals… Herzog’s album is a “spiritual gift of music… something this beautiful makes me believe that faith and hope are worth hanging onto.”
The music industry has stood up and taken notice of Herzog’s talents. His album was named Best Pop Album of 2002 in the Just Plain Folks Music Awards. He has worked with some of the top songwriter around Los Angeles, including Burt Bacharach, Tonio K., Dave Merenda and Harriet Schock. His music and his voice have been featured in television and film in shows like Who Wants To Marry My Dad, The Osbournes, Melrose Place, One Life To Live and The Young & The Restless. He was one of only 13 songwriters chosen to participate in ASCAP’s Lester Sill Songwriting Workshop in 2000. Music Connection Magazine reviewed his live performance, saying that “Herzog is honest and moving in his lyrical delivery… this artist takes a positive angle throughout his work.”
Todd is a graduate of New England Conservatory of Music and is an established composer and arranger with hundreds of vocal and instrumental arrangements to his credit. He is a top-notch vocal coach to some of the up-and-coming vocalists in Los Angeles. Todd is an accomplished singer/songwriter who desires to share his experiences of life through music.
