The baton has been passed

Todd Maki is a Youngstown, Ohio–based composer, producer, and conductor whose musical journey began at age five with piano studies and later expanded to percussion and choral music. A lifelong fascination with electronic music and a pivotal early experience composing for film sparked his passion for composition and audio production. After working as an in-house composer and sound designer in Alabama, Todd returned home to build a recording studio, where he refined his craft and began scoring short and feature-length films.

Driven by a desire to work with live musicians, Todd immersed himself in orchestral study and collaboration. In 2013, he founded what became the Legacy Scoring Orchestra, an ensemble dedicated to recording works by composers from around the world. What began as a practical approach to leading recording sessions evolved into a deep love of conducting. Today, Todd serves as conductor for multiple ensembles and orchestras throughout Northeast Ohio, continuing his lifelong pursuit of musical production and collaboration.
