Sucherman grew up the youngest in a musical family and played his first paying gig at age six and had his first recording session experience at age nine.

After John Panozzo’s untimely death, Todd’s position in the band was solidified. Thirty years later Styx continues to play to millions of fans all over the world averaging almost 100 dates a year.
