My father purchased me my first guitar at the age of 12. Every day after that, i came home from school,went directly into my room,shut the door and learned every kind of music i could get my hands on...Metallica ,Megadeth, Silverchair,Alice in Chains,Dream Theater Eric Clapton ect...
Over the years Ive been in many bands. 
One of my first was ELEMENT. A metal band started by a group of high school friends an I. This would be where i sharpened my chops and learned a thing or two. I bought an ibanez S series seven string and really started to think hey... i could get somewhere being in a band...lol kids....

After a long and interesting road,ELEMENT dismembered and the singer Bill Moros and i formed Alt/Metal band A FAREWELL FIRE.
Now we are getting somewhere...

A FAREWELL FIRE brought to the table experience,heart,drive,and the ability to take my writing and my love of music to the next level.Still using the seven string,AFF pumped out two full length albums that were undeniably bad ass...
AFF sighed with Indegoot management in '08 and has shared the stage with way to many national acts to sit here and name lol.

However all good things must come to an end,and after 5 short but awesome years AFF was no more...

Soon after opportunity came with a phone call from Indegoot that
Toryn Green of FUEL was looking for a new project.A few phone calls later "FOR THE TAKING" was born!

With the release of our first ep "blackout"  and after releasing our single "Lie To Me". FTT toured around the east coast, Alaska and middle america playing with bands like 10 years, Eye Empire, and Filter. 

In 2011 after the departure of FTT, some of the material from this page helped for what is now " I IGNITE". After learning from the mistakes of former musicians and friends ive worked with,  I IGNITE is about life and lessons learned. I put everything i have into my song writing so as to tell the story of how i felt in the moment.  I IGNITE is about more then just playing music for the cheap thrills, its about felling, learning, and experiencing new things through music. I couldnt be more proud of a band then i am with I IGNITE and its and honor to have my brothers Joe,Corey,Stefen and James to work along side.
Check out I IGNITE and if you love it please support  us buy purchasing our music and merchandise so we can continue doing what we love. 
As for this music page, anything can and will happen so... STAY TUNED!
Thanks everyone!


My name is Todd Fields. I live in Lexington, Ky. I have been writing songs since 1999, however I've never been in a band before. whether i've just not met the right people or the opportunity has just never arose, I don't know. 

I play all the instruments in the songs posted here except for the drums. The drums are edited loops. I feel like I could play any instrument as long as I could get my hands on it for at least a month. 

I've written over nine albums worth of material. probably close to 150 songs that I can play back to you. I've never had the opportunity to release them to the  public until I found Soundcloud about a month ago. So thanks to soundcloud I'll be able to display my work to the world.

I'll probably try to release at least one song a week for a while until they have all had their run. I thank anyone who listens very much. It means a lot to me that people at least get to hear what i've slaved over. I am a slave to music and may my soul carry that burden for the rest of my life.

Thank you very much for listening and thank you sound cloud for such an abundant amount of space to work with
