Todd Adleff The passionate pop of Todd Adleff seduces listeners’ ears with finely crafted acoustic textures and real emotional content rather than heart-string tugging artifice designed to induce a Pavlovian, programmed response from music fans accustomed to being buried under assembly line songwriting. Adleff’s music is the remedy for that kind of music; he brings originality, song smarts and captivating melodies to his fans. Always There Music was not a matter of choice for Adleff, but rather a matter of destiny. Always a strong presence in his life, music has long held sway over Adleff’s affections. Songwriting and performance were inevitable for him. “Music has always been a major part of my life,” he says. “I was a roadie for my dad’s band I always have to be around it.” When he’s not writing his own, Adleff immerses himself in others’ songs. And when he finds great music from another artist, it brings him inspiration to go out and create more of his own. It’s a love affair for Adleff. “Music is a feeling way inside that takes me to another place,” he says. Real Emotions The food that feeds his music, Adleff says, is genuine emotional experiences culled from reality. “Emotional real life situations inspire me.” There’s the key to the emotive potency of Adleff’s songwriting. He keeps himself busy and travels frequently, keeping himself exposed to new stimuli for fresh inspiration. “I am influenced by being constantly active and traveling and being in different environments and around new people,” he says. All this is the foundation for the rich emotional palette of Adleff’s songwriting. The Artist at Work Adleff is busy planning touring along the west coast, with an east coast tour to follow next year. He’s also laying the groundwork for his next CD, carefully putting the pieces together for the new project. Adleff’s current CD, “Plan B,” was released this year. Adleff is currently working with A&R Select, the leading indie A&R firm in Hollywood, CA.
