Blending the sounds of Country, Gospel, Worship and Classic Rock, Todd Tilghman's raspy, soulful voice, contagious enthusiasm, and tangible authenticity all definitely stand out in a crowd. Todd has been married to his high school sweetheart, Brooke, since 1998. The couple have eight children. Todd is most well known as the winner of the 18th Season of NBC's "The Voice". Todd describes his music as "slice of life". He shares real lyrics about real life and faith, often finding it challenging to squeeze inside a particular genre. "I just want people to hear the music and immediately remember experiences in their own lives. I want it to have meat, you know? I want to do what I can with my music to share with the world those things that are universally important to us all: love, and family, and faith, and the passing of time, and I'll throw in a little soul and some fun too."

During that time she immersed herself in the city's music scene, perfecting a high-energy, infectious performance style that's true to her. This year, SJ has been on a self-booked coast-to-coast tour, bringing her down-home sound to audiences nationwide. She also recently signed a publishing deal with Major Bob Music, marking a
significant milestone in her career. SJ McDonald isnโt just a performer; she's a musical powerhouse whose broken-in boots and unyielding spirit light up every stage she steps onto.

heart of country music beating strong.
