Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
Todd Wheeler began his songwriting career as a jazz musician at the University of North Texas State, where he composed music for TV specials featuring Pat Boone, Dean Jones, and Danny Thomas. He soon went on the road and wrote music for Bash 'N the Code (Myrrh Records).
Upon completion, he fronted the dance act Kno-How. It wasn't long before they were signed by Radikal Records, and recorded their hit, Superboi. After a few years of touring and warming up for 2Unlimited, Grace Jones, Book of Love, Information Society, Duran Duran, and Kon Kan, Wheeler moved to California, where he gained credits in "Sweet Valley High" for Fox, and the movie "Midnight Temptation" for Showtime.
