Maylee Todd is a Canadian independent musician based in Toronto, Ontario. She released her first solo album, Choose Your Own Adventure, on the Do Right Music label in June, 2010.[1] Todd’s band, Pegwee Power, includes Andrew Scott (trumpet & synth) Eric Woolston (vibraphone & drums) and Chris Kettlewell (bass & accordion).[2] Prior to launching her solo project, Todd was a member of Henri Fabergé and the Adorables, Woodhands and The Bicycles.[3]

Todd’s music covers a wide variety of genres including pop, indie-rock, soul, jazz and bossa nova.[1] She has a taste for exotic instruments such as the Paraguayan harp,[4] and is further distinguished as a stage performer by her flair for comedy and the dramatic arts. She has been known to appear on stage with a full jazz band dressed in stuffed animal costumes, and her video "Aerobics in Space" further demonstrates the diversity and fearlessness of her creative palette.[5] The single "Aerobics in Space" was featured on the limited edition Do Right Serato pressing, released in May 2011, along with a remix of the song by Christian Prommer and Alex Barck of Jazzanova.

Born to a Caucasian father and a Filipino mother, Todd spent her formative years around influences ranging from Elvis Presley to Gilberto Gil.[6] She was the special musical guest of acclaimed Toronto sketch comedy troupe The Sketchersons on November 11, 2008.

Todd has shared the stage with numerous well-known Canadian and international artists, including: Janelle Monáe, Esthero, Aloe Blacc, and The Budos Band.[7] In July 2011 she performed at the Canadian Blast showcase at the Barbican in London, England.[4]
