Todd Dunford is a true-to-self singer and songwriter. His lyrics and vocal delivery are as raw and honest as any you will ever hear particularly on his latest single, “I Don’t Have To Hold You To Feel You.” While it takes countless people to contribute to an artist’s career, there’s usually that one special someone who is the cornerstone – for Todd Dunford, that person is Reca Dunford, his mother. Her love, faith and belief in him has given him the foundation and confidence to create and share his music. In fact, he has dedicated “I Don’t Have To Hold You To Feel You” to his mom. Thank you Reca for raising, nurturing and supporting such an incredible talent.

LA’s Paper Pools shares “Evil” music video, directed by Philipp Dietz
“There are two sides to this song. It is very uptempo and seems upbeat on the surface, yet the lyrics are dark. Contrast is a key theme for the EP. I wrote “Evil” from the perspective of someone like me (though not necessarily me) who is in a toxic relationship. There’s a real push-and-pull in a relationship like that: I need to reject this person, but I also really love this person. But the song also applies to anything in life that can be both positive and negative. There are stretches in our lives when we latch onto things that may bring us happiness and joy, yet they’re not good for us long-term. Thinking back to my upbringing with the Jehovah’s Witnesses, I was raised in an extremely specific way of thinking that had both positive and negative moments. But I reached a point when the turmoil became too much, and I needed to take life in a new direction.” -Allen Orr
