Singer-Songwriter
For more than 40 years, singer-songwriter Todd Mack has voyaged the road less traveled. His musical endeavors have taken him all over the world, performing in some unexpected places. The famed Hong Kong Foreign Correspondents Club, a bomb shelter in Israel, a remote island in Fiji, an olive grove in the West Bank, and the Taichung Jazz Festival in Taiwan are just a few of the places Mack has made music. A classically trained musician beginning at eight years old, his life changed when he picked up his first guitar a few years later. He began writing almost immediately. His professional journey began in 1989 with his self-titled debut followed by a decade of full-time touring and six subsequent releases through 2011.
To date, Mack has released eight albums. In 2025, he released the powerful single, “Floyd”, on the five year anniversary of George Floyd's murder and I'm Gonna Love You No Matter What, his first full length album in 14 long years.
