Todd Park Mohr (born October 19, 1965) is the singer and guitarist for the American rock band Big Head Todd and the Monsters; he is their namesake and primary lyricist. A founding member of the band, he also occasionally provides keyboards and saxophone.
Park Mohr formed Big Head Todd & the Monsters with friends from high school, while touring the night scene in Denver, Fort Collins, and Boulder. Influenced by jazz music from an early age, he incorporated several elements into his music, developing his own unique sound. He primarily plays old Fender Stratocasters and Telecasters, although he has started playing K-Line guitars. He is known for his raw, powerful solos, his big head and use of sweep picking.[1]
Park Mohr was born in Colorado and is of Korean descent. He attended Columbine High School[2] and Colorado State University in Fort Collins. He later transferred to University of Colorado Boulder along with the other members of the band. Their debut album for Giant Records, Sister Sweetly, went platinum in 1993; as of 2024, the band continues to tour.
