Todd Rundgren

An acclaimed record producer, composer, songwriter, and recording artist, Todd Rundgren is widely regarded as the godfather of the marriage of music and multimedia.

Having founded and fronted The Nazz, the quintessential '60s power-pop psychedelic band, in 1969 he left that band to pursue a solo career, recording his debut offering, the classic Runt. It was 1972's seminal Something/Anything?, on which he played all the instruments, sang all the vocal parts, and acted as his own producer, that catapulted Todd into the superstar limelight.

Among Rundgren's impressive 50+ production projects are albums by Patti Smith, Cheap Trick, Psychedelic Furs, XTC, Grand Funk Railroad, Hall & Oates, and Meat Loaf's perennially multi-platinum debut 'Bat Out Of Hell'.
