	Musicians - Michael Todd

Michael Todd (b. c. 1980) plays bass guitar and sings backing vocals in Coheed and Cambria, a progressive rock band from New York.

Todd was born in Woodstock, but currently lives in Nyack, New York. He is known for his energetic playing style and screaming back-up vocals.

Todd has worked with the other members of Coheed and Cambria since they were Shabutie, though he was not the original bassist for the band. When John Carleo, the original Shabutie bassist, left, Todd replaced him, and Shabutie continued to evolve until they were finally Coheed and Cambria. Todd has been said to be one of the main influences in the "Coheed And Cambria Sound" because of his playing abilities and great musical knowledge.
