Hire: Todd Rundgren
Todd Harry Rundgren (born June 22, 1948) is an American musician, singer, songwriter, and record producer who has performed a diverse range of styles as a solo artist and as a member of the bands The Nazz and Utopia. He is known for his sophisticated and often unorthodox music, his occasionally lavish stage shows, and his later experiments with interactive art.
Todd Rundgren first broke into the music business in the late ’60s with the band Nazz, for whom he wrote “Open Your Eyes” and “Hello, It’s Me.” He then released several solo albums, including 1972’s Something/Anything? (which featured a re-recording of “Hello, It’s Me”) and then founded the rock band Utopia, a group that drew on prog, power-pop, and new wave.
In 1970, Todd Rundgren released his first solo album, Runt. The album spawned a top 20 hit in the US with the song, “We Gotta Get You a Woman”.

His 1972 album, “Something/Anything?“, was a hit compared to “Runt” and peaked at number 29 on the US Billboard charts. The album was fully produced by Rundgren who provided everything from the lyrics to the instrumentals to the production itself. The album contained two hit singles, “I Saw the Light” and “Hello, It’s Me”, which were both top 20 hits in the US.
Rundgren’s extensive and impressive production abilities have allowed him to continue putting out work and exploring sounds and ideas up to the present day. Greatly respected for his production skills, Todd Rundgren has worked on numerous albums for artists such as Meat Loaf, Patti Smith and Shaun Cassidy, amongst others.

In 1983, Rundgren released one of his best-known songs, “Bang the Drum All Day.”
In addition to his own work, Todd Rundgren is also a well-respected studio artist who’s produced albums for Hall & Oates, XTC, Psychedelic Furs and Meat Loaf. Rundgren has also continued to release solo albums, including 2017’s White Knight, which featured guest spots from Robyn, Joe Walsh and Nine Inch Nails‘ Trent Reznor.
No matter where Rundgren’s creative muse takes him on a given tour, what stands out is his voice — an instrument that can handle both growling rock and blue-eyed soul — and his charismatic stage presence. Thanks to this versatility, Rundgren has also toured as part of Ringo Starr’s All-Starr Band and, as a solo artist, opened for Hall & Oates and teamed up with Joe Jackson for a co-headlining tour.
