Eric Todd
For two decades, Eric collaborated with Grammy and Clio-winning creatives and C-suite executives in strategic development, A&R, and creative capacities. A career highlight includes a recent UN 2030 SDG music initiative consultancy to engage Gen Z.
Music aspirations came to life in a move to NYC at eighteen with multiple artist development deals, including a career-changing pivotal connection with Julian Lennon, son-of-a-Beatle. An early jazz record deal with iconic artist Chuck Mangione's management team and Columbia Records landed before age twenty, yet stardom was not in the cards. Focus shifted to the business side of music to develop a successful twenty-year consultancy, while producing and discovering emerging talent.
Eric is a Wipf & Stock Books published author, a former recording artist (REX Records), composer, producer, artist manager to emerging jazz artists, Corinne and Audrey Kreitner, and founder of iProdigy.
iProdigy develops and promotes jazz artist brands and curate superfans who love them. We integrate Grammy-winning leadership, artist and label services, an artist incubator, masterclasses, TV series, festival activations, D2F engagement, and upstream opportunities. We provide the expertise of a global label. Artists remain in control.
Team includes: Phil Quartararo in memorium (Warner Music CEO, Virgin Music CEO, EMI CMO), Jimmy O'Mahony (Saatchi Global Chief), and Robert Cutarella (Two-time Grammy-winning producer and publisher credited with 160 platinum albums).
