Todd was born in Sydney, Australia and soon moved
to the little town of Cooma in NSW where he spent
most of his younger years.
When his teenage years arrived Todd and his family
packed up the house and moved to Warriewood on
Sydney's Northern Beaches.
This is where he would learn to mix the country way
of life with that of a surfer living on the coast.
A Horticulturalist by trade, Todd after sometime took
a job as the caretaker of Palm Beach Surf Club in
NSW and it was here that he met his mate Michael
Cowdroy. The two soon came to realise a passion
for country music which was not that status quo for
the environment in which they were living.
This didn't bother the boys one bit and not long after
Southbound was born.
Southbound is still Todd's passion today and over the
years he has played many show from the big stages
of country music to the smallest country pub, and
everything in between.

There has also been the odd occasion where he has
been seen live across the country singing his tunes on
national television and Todd insists that after seeing
himself on TV, he has a great face for radio!
Todd finds absolute enjoyment in every aspect of the country music lifestyle and always seems to find a
good time wherever he may be.
He is often found perched at some bar after a show
having a yarn to everyone and anyone who will have
a chat.
Todd has penned a few songs over the years including
Repo Man and 1000 Miles Away, off the first album, with both songs receiving extensive radio play across the country.
Todd now lives in Toowoomba, QLD where he is focusing more and more on songwriting.
All he wants to do now is find a big patch of dirt for
a home and some horses, where he can kick back on
the veranda, have a rum, play guitar and write songs
till the cows come home.
