Todd Schroeder started playing piano at the age of four. Growing up in a musical family, he was introduced to everything from Claude Debussy to Neil Diamond, from Ray Charles to Elton John, but what he remembers most is discovering, at the age of eight, the rock and roll piano playing of Jerry Lee Lewis.
For Schroeder, this variety of musical influences has produced a variety of musical accomplishments as a composer, producer, arranger, musical director and performer. Playing piano remains Schroeder’s first love. He has performed at Carnegie Hall and the White House, with the Boston Pops and the Mormon Tabernacle Choir and has appeared on numerous television shows including The Oprah Winfrey Show.
As an accomplished composer, his original music has been featured in film and television. He composed music and lyrics with his writing partner, Kevin Fisher, for the new hit musical “Unbeatable: A Bold New Musical”. .(UnbeatableMusical.com) The song “Live” from that show, was featured in the opening ceremonies of the 2009 Special Olympics Winter World Games in Boise, Idaho. He has also recorded four of his own CD’s including the critically-acclaimed “Songs My Father Taught Me”.
Along with writing and producing, Schroeder has conducted and arranged for such artists as Angela Lansbury, Nell Carter, Jason Alexander, Rita Coolidge and Sam Harris. He also serves as the vocal director for Disney’s “Aladdin, A Musical Spectacular” and is the Musical Director for “Wicked” at Universal Studios Japan. And finally, he is the proud founder of the Todd Schroeder Young Artist Grant, an annual scholarship presented to graduating High School students wanting to pursue careers in the arts.
