Todd Simpson is 19 year old and has overcome huge obstacles in his personal life. Todd was born with a Congenital Heart Condition along with other major health issues,  Requiring multiple Open Heart Surgeries, Todd was hospitalized over700 days before his 3rd birthday.  Due to complications in his early days he also is severely dyslexic.  In spite of these trials Todd has amazed and inspired everyone, from the Doctors who treated him to strangers who hear his story.  Todd's activities were limited due to health issues, he could not participate in the usual activities, sports and etc. , yet he found his gifts in music.  At the age of eight while his father and friends were playing music  Todd found a toy harmonica and came into the room playing it perfectly with the song they were playing.  When Todd was asked how he was doing it he said I feel it.  Wes, Todd's father and band mate took him to City Stages the next week to introduce him to the Blues.  Willie King spotted Todd with his harmonica in his pocket and asked him to hit a couple licks, Todd did and he so impressed Willie that he was asked on stage and played the full 50 minute set. Todd continued with his harmonica and continued loving and playing the blues.  He has shared the stage a City Stages with blues players James Perterson, Little Whitt and Big Bo.  He has played with local musicians such as Topper Price and Rick Carter.  At the age of 16 Todd again amazed his friends and family,  After hearing a Jimmy Hendrix song he picked up one of his Dad's many guitars and played it like he had been doing it all his life.  One month later he played his first show, fronting a band his Father put together to back him.  Today they play regularly at venues in the Birmingham area and also out of state.  They are just returned from the University of Virginia, playing 2 shows for their annual St. Patrick's Day Party.  Todd has also performed at Morgan Freeman's, Ground Zero Blues Club.  Todd and his band Mojo Child play a mixture of original songs, fresh interpretations of some of the greats by Stevie Ray Vaughn, Hendrix, Allman Brothers, Howling Wolf, BB King.  No two shows are alike since Todd plays from the heart and with a gift that allows him to feel the music and really bring the crowd into the moment with him.Todd's shows have been attended by all ages and crosses all genres of music,  in a very short time he has created a very loyal and diverse following. Todd is known for spontaneously combining different songs from different eras, even blending old school blues with modern day hip hop...a real crowd favorite. In 2007 Todd Simpson and Mojo Child won the Birmingham Blues contest and represented Birmingham in Memphis, TN in 2008. Wherever he plays Todd and the band will bring the house down!
