Jasin Todd is a guitarist and a former member of the band "Shinedown". He is originally from Lake City, Florida. His interest in music was sparked at the age of nine when his mother bought him a guitar from a pawn shop.

Personal life

In October 2004 he married Melody Van Zant, the daughter of rock and roll legend Ronnie Van Zant. However, the two have since separated.

Early career

Before joining Shinedown, Jasin was in a band called Nefarion. [ [http://www.guitarsite.com/hotlicks/about1784.html Ax Facts & Stats vol. 43: Shinedown's Jasin Todd] ]

On April 11th 2008, Brent Smith announced that Jasin was no longer a member of the band, saying "at this time, he's no longer with us in Shinedown." In the liner notes of Shinedown's first album without Todd, The Sound of Madness, Smith says that he loves Todd and considers him the "brother (he) never had," indicating that the split did not foster any harsh feelings, at least on Smith's side.

Post-Shinedown

Since parting ways with Shinedown, Todd has remained out of the public eye. Although rumours briefly surfaced that he had joined SOiL (the band promptly denied this) [ [http://www.komodorock.com/latest-news/latest-news/soil-deny-rumours-of-jasin-todd-joining-the-band-200806265941/ Soil Deny Rumours Of Jasin Todd Joining The Band] ] , there is no confirmed news as to what he will do next. However, he has indicated through his MySpace blogs that he is still playing guitar and that "someday soon [we'll] see [him] round", possibly indicating that he has plans ready.
