Todd Mumford aka Mum's the Word is a Los Angeles, CA, based
hip-hop producer who has been steadily making his way through
the underground scene for the past several years. He has worked
on projects with the Visionaries, Kombo, LMNO, Kazi, Subtitle,
Of Mexican Descent, MURS, remixed the Beastie Boys and is a
member of the group the Mind Clouders (w/ 2Mex and DJChopps),
just to name a few. Mum's has also engineered studio sessions
for a good portion of theentire L.A. underground. Mum's the Word
started on his parth towards a career in music as a college
radio DJ at UC Santa Barbara, from 1993-1997. Under the name
Todd One and the show name "Live and Uncut" (along with his
partner DJGram), Mum's first made contact with groups like the
Visionaries, the Loot Pack, the Blak Forest, and many other DJ's
and record industry people from across the U.S. Gradually, as
his interest in all things music related grew he found his way
into the production side of things and bought his first drum
machine and later a sampler. The first MC he produced music for
was Subtitle (whom he met through the radio show). Mum's also
worked with both LMNO and Writer's Block on 3-song demos in 95'
as well as Kazi (Stones Throw Records) around the same time. He
also worked extensively with a hip-hop duo known as Lexicon,
helping to produce and release their first 12" and EP.A lot of
patience, hard work and a few years time brings us to where we
are today. His latest solo release is also his first
all-instrumental project entitled "Texture" . The album
incorporates many styles of music but stays firmly rooted in
hip-hop. From choppy drums to dirty samples and synth heavy
beats, "Texture" is intended to take the listener on a journey
to wherever they'd like to go....
