About Me

.......MichaelTodd, a 22yr. old vocalist born and raised in NewYork whose moved to Dallas is bent on bringing Rock&Roll back better then it ever was.... "Music needs to regain its sincerity, its brutal truth and most importantly its vulnerability again." This singer/songwriter is driven to bring back the sincerity, the depth, the feeling, the emotion, and the heart in modern day music....... "if your soul screams sincerity then dont silence it with a whisper thats less than everything you need to hear and feel"........... Taking most of his influences from classic rock bands his vocals are a broad pallet ranging from sensitive to flat out raw and edgy....... "I was once asked who I sounded like and I responded, "I sound like MichaelTodd; I refuse to limit myself to something someone else already did, if it's not me staright-up with no chaser then its not real."
