Todd O’Dell heralds from a small town in the Midwest called Sparta Wisconsin. He has since early age been a little different from the other kids. As if from a different planet or star system. His musical styling and definitive sound encompasses that and sets him apart from the rest of the pack. Early influences such as The Beatles, Black Sabbath, Elton John and Kiss ignited his passion for sound and music.

O’Dell’s experience in bands like Krown Vega and Battery Pop where he wrote, performed and produced furthered his passion for session work and producing other up and coming artist as well as providing music for underground independent film makers. Todd O’Dell is an asset to any project as a guitarist or vocalist bringing passion, integrity  and excitement to the music.
