Eric Todd
For two decades, Eric collaborated with Grammy and Clio-winning creatives and C-suite executives in strategic development, A&R, and creative capacities. A career highlight includes a recent UN 2030 SDG music initiative consultancy to engage Gen Z.
Music aspirations came to life in a move to NYC at eighteen with multiple artist development deals, including a career-changing pivotal connection with Julian Lennon, son-of-a-Beatle. An early jazz record deal with iconic artist Chuck Mangione's management team and Columbia Records landed before age twenty, yet stardom was not in the cards. Focus shifted to the business side of music to develop a successful twenty-year consultancy, while producing and discovering emerging talent.
Eric is a Wipf & Stock Books published author, a former recording artist (REX Records), composer, producer, artist manager to emerging jazz artists, Corinne and Audrey Kreitner, and founder of iProdigy.
