Todd Edwards (born December 9, 1972 in Bloomfield, New Jersey) is a house music and UK Garage producer.
Todd Edwards began his musical career around 1992. He employs vocal reconstruction techniques to his songs, creating a unique vocal collage set to a four to the floor beat. Marc Kinchen, who is primarily responsible for pioneering this technique, is one of Edwards' influences.
He is also a committed Christian. This is evident by recurring 'hidden' messages found in his compositions, which often refer to Jesus and faith.
He has also amassed an impressive career as a remix artist. With remixes numbering in the hundreds, some of the artists he has remixed include Wildchild, St. Germain, Benjamin Diamond, Justice, and Dimitri From Paris. Much like his solo albums, his remixes make use of a complex vocal sampling technique, which in some cases renders the original track almost unrecognizable.
He is also known for co-producing and lending vocals to the hit Daft Punk track "Face to Face" from the album Discovery, which climbed to #1 on the Billboard Club chart in 2004.
