About Me

ELECTRIC CHURCH PROMO toddiefunk is bringing it 2 u on the newly released ELECTRIC CHURCH joint! U can finally hold 10 solid tracks in your funky little hands! LawTone Records is proud 2 bring u this explosion of funk, R&B & soul sprinkled with a little rock flavor and some lyrical rhymes as the cherry on top! If u dont already know - front man toddiefunk is the bass man for Grammy Award winning artist, tobyMac. U can catch him on tour worldwide with tobyMac & DIVERSE CITY. Meanwhile, dont miss this hot new release straight outta the funk lab!

Born in Topeka, Kansas and traveling the globe, via bass guitar, from Dallas 2 Japan, toddiefunk brings a lifetime 2 the table. ELECTRIC CHURCH is a true soul child birthed out of personal experience and influences like P-Funk, Prince, Bootsy, Gap Band, Sly Stone, Cameo, Earth, Wind & Fire, Fred Hammond, Kirk Franklin, Tone' & others, but its no copycat production. Its a true blend of authentic originality, old school and hot new urban funk stacked on a Holy Ghost bottom line.

When the concept of ELECTRIC CHURCH first came to life years ago, toddiefunk was hidden away in OKC for a season. Thats when he took EC to the church as well as the most intense rock & roll venues, the hottest top 40 spots, the edgiest urban dance clubs & back to the church without changing a lyric or a beat. They filled every room and were voted Best Funk Band by their loyal and diverse fans. ECs vibe is overflowing with such intense musicality & truth, it reaches out to the masses! "Its been a long time coming, a culmination of lifes experiences, the good, the bad, the ugly and the extreme highs & deepest lows. From the moment I started playing bass, I knew I had 2 do something new with what I had been given. Life is like a ride that takes u places u don't expect and music goes with u like a soundtrack. Thats what ELECTRIC CHURCH is - life put 2 a funky groove. Its real. Theres something for everybody willing 2 put it in their ear." - toddiefunk

As the visionary front man, vocalist, writer, producer & bassist, toddiefunk is a man whose heart and soul is grounded in purpose and EC is a driving force - music with a mission. That mission is to take you on a ride to a place that may feel familiar at first but you'll soon realize its a whole new thing! ECs debut international release, READY OR NOT! is a funky ticket to a timeless journey - one that started a long time ago, but never really ends! Plug in & enjoy the ride!
