The younger brother of Geogg Bodine and Brett Bodine, both of whom were racers, Todd Bodine is a great stock car racer. He made his big debut at the Busch Series in 1986 where he finished 27th out of 30 due to an engine problem. At the time he was racing for Pistone Racing at Martinsville. From there he went on to suffer three years of misfortune, driving a number of races but not winning any of them. In 1990, things started to change for the better. By the end of the year he had come 8th, 7th and even 3rd at various races around the country.

Todd Bodine is a well-known race car driver. Contrary to his namesake, another Todd Bodine, the well-known German electronic music artist, paves his way in the international techno/house scene. Born in Berlin, Todd Bodine already began to take on his own musical tastes at the age of 17. Just after the fall of the Berlin Wall he discovered a fascination for the young, techno club scene in Berlin, bought some records, practiced alone at home and began to establish himself as DJ at private parties. As it happened, in 1997 he met Daniel Paul in his favourite record store, who would later become his friend and mentor. This was the inception of Cabinet Records, for which Todd would begin producing his own music two years later.
