Todd La Torre Biography

Todd La Torre is one of the most popular and richest Singer who was born on February 19, 1974 in Saint Petersburg, Florida, Russia. In November of 2011 it was revealed that the band was developing an album in collaboration in collaboration with La Torre. In February 2013 the band announced that La Torre announced he has parted ways with Crimson Glory due to the band’s lack of activity. La Torre said: “We had wonderful momentum and we were working within an important window of time within which the new record should have been recorded and released to have the most impact given the bands resurgence. Unfortunately, the record never materialized despite my best efforts, [and] I haven’t been contacted to write with Crimson Glory for over six months.” Despite his disappointments, La Torre does consider Crimson Glory to be “the catalyst that exposed me to the world as an undiscovered vocalist.”

La Torre and Queensrÿche guitarist Michael Wilton met at the buffet of a Seymour Duncan private dinner party during the NAMM Show in January 2012, where La Torre first mistook Wilton for Eric Peterson from the band Testament, complimenting him for a show that Peterson had played the night before at the Grove. After Wilton gave him a puzzled look, La Torre realized whom he was talking to, being a long-time fan of Queensrÿche. They ended up talking for a good hour at dinner, found out they had mutual interests in styles of music, and discussed the possibility of recording vocals on previously unreleased songs by Wilton for a TV sports reel and soundtracks. Wilton sent him four demos via email, and although he expected to get something back from La Torre in about 4 weeks, La Torre sent back the first demo with lyrics and a melody after only three days. Wilton was pleased with what he received. At that point, La Torre was not yet thinking about a career with Queensrÿche. He says: “It was just supposed to be about other stuff because I was completely focused and dedicated with Crimson Glory and we were writing an album, it took forever and never got finished. It was just a very slow process.”

La Torre was actively involved with the songwriting for the self-titled album released in 2013 by writing the majority of the lyrics, several melodies, and some drum and guitar parts. He is more oriented to the heavier music, but finds it important to balance it out with music that “breathes” and builds up to a climax. Queensrÿche drummer Rockenfield calls La Torre a “fantastic drummer”, and says that several drum parts La Torre suggested “were so good that I kept them and translated them into what I would do”. La Torre is currently focused on being the band’s singer and frontman, but he and Rockenfield have already discussed the possibility to also incorporate his drumming in live performances alongside Rockenfield, and interjecting their drumming. Queensrÿche guitarist Parker Lundgren sees La Torre as the reason the band has become much more oriented on the fans, saying: “[La Torre] would write back to every single email or Facebook message or anything he would get, even people criticizing him. He would always write back saying, ‘I know where you’re coming from…’ He’s always really cool to everybody. As far as actually meeting fans and getting back to them with emails and really caring, that’s changed a ton just from Todd [La Torre] being in the band.”

In 2010 La Torre participated on the Rockstar Superstar Project music project. The project was a musical venture made by legally-named twins Rock Star and Super Star. La Torre was a part of the song “Do It For You” that also includes Mark Slaughter on backing vocals and Bruce Kulick on guitar.

La Torre was the lead singer of Florida metal group Crimson Glory from late 2010 until the beginning of 2013. From 2009 to early 2013, La Torre was considering the possibility of forming his own Iron Maiden tribute band. But, he was referred by Crimson Glory guitarist Jon Drenning by a friends guitar player Matt LaPorte (Circle II Circle Jon Oliva’s Pain). La Torre first performed with Crimson Glory as a guest singer at ProgPower X on September 12 in 2009, and then was officially confirmed by the band as their vocalist and lead singer in the month of May of 2010 to replace the vocalist Wade Black. He never set his sights out the role of frontman for an ensemble, “it just happened”. The first appearance he made together with Crimson Glory was on October 30th, 2010 at the Pathfinder Metal Fest in Marietta, Georgia.

In 2012 and 2013, La Torre was also writing material for his first solo album, which reportedly includes guest appearances from other artists.
