Todd's Bio: 

TODD PAINTER

Musical Background:My first instrument was a Polaris 3 piece drum kit. My Grandma, who was an elementary school teacher bought a piano for my family in 7th grade and started me on lessons. Being a redneck from J county, I honed my technique by playing Rush and Queen songs. I followed in my Dad's footsteps by playing trumpet for many years.

Member of Former Bands:

The Urge: Trombone and keyboards

Quintessence:Keyboards and some vocals for one of St. Louis's longest standing party\wedding bands.

Once Performed With: The Village People. Nuff said.

Favorite Piece of Music All Time: Vienna Concert - Keith Jarrett

In the CD Player Now: Opeth, Godspeed You Black Emperor, Isis, Joshua Redman, Lily Allen

Day Job: IT Project Manager for a marketing company.

Family: Four crazy kids and a wife who let's me do this.

Hopes and Dreams: Write a profound piece of philosophy disguised as a science fiction novel. Find the time to write original music whether it's any good or not. Make my wife a rich woman so we can find out for ourselves that money doesn't make you happy.
