From the first time you meet Todd Agnew, you'll realize that he's a T-shirt and jeans kind of guy - no bells, no whistles, no trying to be something that you're not. He's humble and he doesn't make any bones about why he sings and writes music: for Jesus.

Born in March 1971, Todd's adoption, as well as his obvious American Indian heritage, has been well documented. He grew up in a Christian home with parents who supported his desire to share God through music.

Todd didn't set out to be a "star." In fact, his signing with Ardent didn't come the "normal" way. He just wanted to use their studio but Dana Key had other plans after hearing Todd's voice. "Walking by where Todd was recording, I found myself stopping and listening to his music," says Dana. "It wasn't long before I wanted to get involved. Similarly, whenever I play some of Todd's music for people, it has the same effect of stopping them in their tracks. His music is definitely not background material-it's music that demands attention."
Three albums later, Todd hasn't changed. He's still wearing t-shirts, jeans and avoiding shoes when ever possible and he's still in it for one reason: Jesus.
