Hailing from the small town of Lismore on the North Coast of NSW Australia, Todd started to play the guitar at the age of 11. After classical training for 1 year Todd knew this was not the direction for his music and started lessons with a local electric guitar teacher.

It wasn’t long before Todd’s talents were in demand as a touring and session guitar player, working with some top names in the Australian music industry.



In 2009, Todd recorded his debut album ‘Ambivalence’, a collection of instrumental numbers showcasing his ability not only as a guitarist, but also as a songwriter The first pressing of Ambivalence SOLD OUT within the a month of its release and featured a limited edition Cartoon cover design drawn by Japanese Anime artist Sophie Salmon, It was from this album Todd catapulted into the World Guitarist spotlight. Many new friends have also been met along the way.



One of these new friends being Peter Crossley, a master Australian Guitar builder, wanted to build Todd a guitar that would not only suit his needs, but be a guitar for guitarists of the 21st Century. From their first meeting, and some early designs, Pete honored Todd with “The Todd Robinson Signature” model guitar which quickly became a popular piece of gear from the Crossley line up of Guitars.



Todd is also an official endorsee of LACE guitar pickups, Dimarzio, SKB and Presonus.

Modern Guitar Magazine



“As a Luthier I get quite a few requests from up and coming guitar players each month for endorsement.
Some are genuine players, some are just dreamers.



Most get a nice reply from me, and that’s where the story ends, or it was until I heard a young player that set my ears and heart on fire, and I instantly knew that here was a player that could understand and add to what Crossley Guitars is trying to achieve.



Todd Robinson is one of this country’s finest guitar players, and he blends that with an alarming modesty and genuine love for the instrument and the music he plays.
Todd is at the forefront of this country’s next generation of guitar geniuses. His grasp of the melodic belies his tender years, there is a soul and brilliance in his music that still eludes players with many, many more road trips and gigs under their belt. (most of whom would sell their soul to come even close!)



Todd is a player to watch, enjoy and soar the heights with.
As the old adage says “ Get on board, buckle up and have the ride of your life”
This is the start”
