Malcolm Todd's warm songs combine a fluid alternative R&B sound with the emotional outlook of an indie singer/songwriter. The son of TV producer/writer Tim Hobert (The Middle, Community), Todd began making music during the pandemic and released his first EP, Demos Before Prom, in 2022. A second EP, Shower Shoes, followed in 2023, and singles such as "Art House" and especially the viral break-up song "Roommates" garnered a lot of attention online. In 2024, he released two more EPs which were then combined and expanded into his first album, Sweet Boy.
