Todd Park Mohr (born October 19, 1965) is the singer and guitarist for the American rock band Big Head Todd and the Monsters. He is their namesake and primary lyricist. A founding member of the band, he also occasionally provides keyboards and saxophone.
Mohr formed Big Head Todd & the Monsters with friends from high school, while touring the night scene in Denver, Fort Collins, and Boulder. Influenced by jazz music from an early age, he incorporated several elements into his music, developing his own unique sound. He primarily plays old Fender Stratocasters and Telecasters, although he has started playing K-Line guitars. He is known for his raw, powerful solos, his big head and use of sweep picking.[1]
