Early life

Dodd's first experience with music was listening to The Monkees as a child and wanting to play drums. He received a three-piece drum set from a garage sale, leading to him taking drum lessons at the age of 9. Around that same time, Dodd started listening to bands such as Led Zeppelin, AC/DC and Kiss, along with jazz fusion bands such as Weather Report from drum teachers. His father's career as an aerospace engineer was enough for him to get a four-track and learn on his own.[4]
