Todd is a producer, songwriter and performer. Todd's music covers a wide variety of genres including pop, indie-rock, soul, jazz, electronic, experimental and bossa nova.[1] She has a taste for exotic instruments, and sequencers such as the Paraguayan harp, and tenori-on[4] and is further distinguished as a stage performer by her flair for comedy and the dramatic arts. She has been known to be diverse always showcasing her creative palette.[5] The single "Aerobics in Space" was featured on the limited edition Do Right Serato pressing, released in May 2011, along with a remix of the song by Christian Prommer and Alex Barck of Jazzanova.

Todd's father is an Elvis Presley, Frank Sinatra and Neil Diamond impersonator. Todd's mother is a visually creative artist that makes unconventional interactive quilts and dolls. Todd's grandfather "The Great Toddini" was an escape artist and had an obsession with UFO culture. Toddini appears in the Toronto Star claiming his car was hit by a UFO. Todd spent her formative years around these influential artists, satisfying both the visual components and performative aspects.

Maylee Todd's latest project is Virtual Womb. A visual and auditory show, where the audience walks through a large vagina and lies on the floor, watching the projections that are on the ceiling.

Todd has shared the stage with numerous well-known Canadian and international artists, including: Janelle Monáe, Esthero, Aloe Blacc, Thundercat, Charles Bradley, and The Budos Band.[6] In July 2011, she performed at the Canadian Blast showcase at the Barbican in London, England.[4] She contributes vocals on Bob Wiseman's 2012 release Giulietta Masina at the Oscars Crying.
