Todd B, the eclectic, somewhat eccentric host of "The Breakdown," brings creativity and spontaneity to DC radio. His smooth baritone voice and witty charm relaxes listeners, making it easier for them to express their questions and concerns. A native of Florida, Todd's gift of gab was witnessed early on, at the tender age of three, when he would faithfully watch noon news broadcasts in an effort to mimic news anchors. As a result, the precocious child's declarations of "news, sports and weather!" are still fondly recalled by his family members. 

His world view and scope were further broadened during a three-and-a-half year stint in the military, where he was stationed in the Central American Republic of Panama. Upon completing his military obligations, Todd enrolled into Hampton University to pursue his dream of becoming a television news anchor. While attending Booker T. Washington's alma mater, he decided to try out for the campus radio station, 88.1 WHOV-FM, as a method of strengthening his broadcasting skills. He soon fell under the spell of radio in 1995 and went on to distinguish himself as "Best New Announcer" and, ultimately, "Best Announcer" at WHOV, where his wide range and versatility blossomed as he starred in an array of formats, traversing the blues, reggae, hip hop, R&B, jazz, acid jazz, and gospel. After graduating with honors from Hampton in 1998, Todd was hired by Norfolk (VA's) WOWI 103 JAMZ as an overnights and weekends radio announcer and, at one point, he simultaneously held down a shift for one of WOWI's sister stations, WSVY, spinning oldies. Midway through the following year, 1999, Todd was promoted to full-time status as host of "The Quiet Storm," where anchored the #1 night show in the market. 


In August of 2000, just nine months later, and a year-and-a-half after getting his start in professional radio, he joined WPGC 95.5 as host of "Lovetalk and Slow Jams." His creative talents have been utilized in jingles and voice-overs for radio and television; additionally, he has been a featured poet and vocalist at a number of venues in the Washington, D.C. area, Detroit, Virginia and New York; and in 1997, Todd was published in the Gavin, one of the music industry's leading publications. He was also named "Best Supporting Actor" in 1996 by the Hampton Players for his standout portrayal of "Jake Pernod" in the world premiere of the late, great playwright, Avon Long's 40 Acres and a Mule.
