odd
urban, a pianist and
bassist, began his
musical
career in 1997
after booking
some local clubs and restaurants in
NJ. During this period, Todd attended William Paterson
University to pursue a study in Music Education & Jazz Performance. As a student, he
sustained an injury to his hands from misuse while
performing.
In order to overcome this challenge, and continue
his musical career, a classical study of piano and all stringed
instruments was essential. Top professors, such as Linda McKnight
(bass), Oscar Ravina (violin) Chaim Zemach (cello), and Gary
Kirkpatrick (piano), provided him with classical instruction.
Eventually, Todd was able to recover with the aid of oriental
medicine and the use of
the Alexander technique.
