He also continues to work as a professional musician for Disney and Royal Caribbean Cruiselines.
Why Genesis Todd?
I’ve always enjoyed Genesis but always knew them as the later era. I've always loved Peter Gabriel and when I finally listened to earlier Genesis with Peter Gabriel and with Phil Collins too, I was blown away! I love the challenge of the songs and their pure talent as a band, and knew I wanted to be part of this band to get to recreate some of these amazing songs!
