Todd Andreozzi (guitar, backing vocals) is the co-founder if iE, along with David Upegui. He’s advanced his studies in jazz theory and application with the guidance of long time teacher, Wayne Jarrell at The Guitar Workshop in East Greenwich, RI, and cites Eddie Van Halen as his primary influence.

Todd's equipment list is:
