Singer/Songwriter/Pianist Todd Alsup is a welcome throwback to classic songwriting and showmanship - an exciting artist who can consistently rock a crowd with astonishing vocals and honest songs bursting with groove and personality.

Born and raised in the suburbs of Detroit, Todd was attracted to the classic sounds of 60's soul and 70's pop at an early age. "I remember discovering my parents' record collection - The Beatles, Carole King, Stevie Wonder and Billy Joel," he says. "I spent hours and hours wearing down their vinyl, simply captivated. I fell in love with artists like Marvin Gaye and Aretha Franklin who could deliver a melody and lyric like no one else. Storytellers and soul singers - those were my idols."

Todd has been featured in Billboard Magazine, Performing Songwriter, and is endorsed by Yamaha. He is managed by MajorWho Media and is currently working on a full length album. Read more on Last.fm.
