artist Sylvain Todd

Sylvain Todd is a reasonably agreeable young man who makes imaginative music using electric bass, electric and acoustic guitars, keyboard, banjo, synthesizer, vocals, djembe, tambourine, violin, flutes and whistles, harmonica, melodica, samples, jaw harp, and whatever else he can get his hands on.

Sylvain was born in Wakefield, QC on September 24th, 1987, and grew up somewhere in the woods north of there. He grew up mostly on classical music but was also influenced early on by the bits of eighties and early nineties music he heard growing up.

Over the years, Sylvain's musical horizons expanded dramatically, encompassing everything from techno, early folk, disco, rock 'n' roll, prog rock, jazz, disco, Chinese opera and folk music, circus music, soul, hip hop, ambient, modern classical, and so on. At age fifteen, he started playing bass, and started seriously trying to make music when he was about eighteen. His music is intended to transcend genres and blend all the music he listens to in ways that are sadly uncommon.

Sylvain is currently working on a debut album, albeit slowly, and we await it with very bated breath.
