About

Todd Edward Imperatrice (born December 9, 1972), known professionally as Todd Edwards, is an American garage house record producer, DJ, and singer. Nicknamed "Todd the God" and known by various aliases throughout his career, he has been credited as a significant influence on electronic music. He inspired the French house duo Daft Punk and played a role in the creation of the UK garage genre.

Edwards began his career producing primarily for New York's Nervous Records in the 1990s, including under aliases such as the Messenger and the Sample Choir. Beginning with his 1993 single "Guide My Soul", Edwards helped pioneer the speed garage genre. His 1994 single "Saved My Life" became a club hit in the UK.

Edwards has remixed hundreds of artists, including Wildchild, St Germain, Benjamin Diamond, Justice, Klaxons and Dimitri from Paris. Edwards has collaborated with Daft Punk on two successful songs, co-producing and contributing vocals on the songs "Face to Face" (2001) and "Fragments of Time" (2013); the former reached number one on the Billboard Dance Club Songs chart in 2004, while the latter won him a Grammy Award for its inclusion on Random Access Memories, which won Album of the Year at the 2014 show.

Todd Edwards est un musicien américain de musique house né à Bloomfield (New Jersey) le 9 décembre 1972.

Bien qu'actif depuis le début des années 1990 et reconnu par les spécialistes de la house comme un compositeur influent, notamment pour son apport au UK garage, il ne jouit pas de la réussite commerciale et doit attendre de collaborer en 2001 avec Daft Punk sur Face to Face, un morceau de l'album Discovery, pour obtenir une reconnaissance auprès d'un public plus large. Il collabore de nouveau avec le duo français sur le titre Fragments of Time de leur album Random Access Memories.
