About Me

I got my layout at Cleanupmyspace.com
Todd Kessler has not let early recognition alter his course in pursuit of his passion. In 2005 Kessler found himself as a finalist in VH1's Song of the Year Contest. Only to be acknowledged a year later by the web based reality show, “Prom Queen” which featured his song “Conversations in Gray.”
Todd Kessler is a Singer/Songwriter whose passion for what he does comes out in every performance he gives. His lyrics are insightful commentary on ourselves as people and our self as a society. With influences such as Bob Dylan, Bob Marley, along with more contemporary influences like Ray LaMontagne, M. Ward, and David Gray, Todd's music is subtle in his arrangements yet powerful in his delivery.
"The Veronika EP", which was released in February of 2008 on his own label, Wyzguy Records has been met with acclaim from his Chicago fan-base. Todd's debut album, "We Are The Musicmakers", released in July of 2006, is currently available on iTunes and CDbaby.com. Look for a follow-up release “Boomerang” late this year. Based out of Chicago, Todd has toured throughout parts of the Midwest as well as shows in New York City, San Francisco, and the famed Kibitz Room at Canter's Deli in Los Angeles.
"Todd Kessler is a modern Folk singersongwriter who addresses timeless social and spiritual issues. Fans will adore his music for years to come." - Greg Magers [3-time Grammy nominated Engineer/Producer, Chicago, IL]
"If you are looking for some new and differet tunes, you should definitely give Chicago based singer/songwriter Todd Kessler a listen! His mix of pop-country-melodramatic melodies and melancholy, yet catchy lyrics gives faith to those that are lost in love or going through heartache. " - www.musicbleep.com [Los Angeles, CA]
“Todd Kessler's music is as full-bodied as any electric-heavy band out there.” - A&R Select [Leading Industry Independent A&R, Los Angeles, CA]
