Todd Cochran
ACCLAIMED PIANIST, COMPOSER, ELECTRONIC MUSICIAN AND PRODUCER
Todd Cochran has experienced music as a way of life and being in a myriad of settings. The piano is something he has always known as a way into other worlds, early on recognizing it as a portal through which to escape the confines of youth, expand curiosities, and gain wide-ranging knowledge of the world. Born in San Francisco, raised in a home environment of classical music, jazz, and an atmosphere filled with an omnipresent love of the arts, Todd began fingering melodies on the piano at age 3. His parents had professional careers, his dad in the automobile industry and his mother as an accountant. Both were trained musicians, his father a singer/pianist and mother a violinist. His first piano lessons were taught by his father, and young Todd’s absorption was such that he was able to read musical notation before he learned to read words. In this sense music found him – long before he knew to seek it.
