In a world brimming with avenues for self-expression, Toddy stands at the forefront of innovation. Blending elements of drag, standup comedy, opera, classical, and pop music, Toddy (she/they) is reshaping the landscape of pop stardom with their upcoming debut album, “Always.” Hailing from Vancouver, Toddy’s journey began with a childhood teddy bear that inspired their chosen moniker.

Drawing inspiration from a diverse musical palette including rock, opera, and pop, Toddy leverages their classical training to craft a captivating collection of tracks on “Always.” With influences ranging from Kylie Minogue and Christine And The Queens to KISS and David Bowie, Toddy’s music pulsates with energy and glamour, offering a fresh perspective on contemporary pop music.
