Teddy Campbell

在一年大部分時間中，數百萬人在FOX頻道的火紅節目《美國偶像》見證非凡鼓手Teddy Campbell。他是現場音樂表演樂團的成員，發揮著關鍵作用，讓《美國偶像》成為電視歷史上最具娛樂性和最受關注的節目之一。每週Teddy和音樂未來之星與Yamaha Absolute Birch Nouveau鼓組出現的節目，已經成為一種文化現象。

早在他在全國網絡電視登台前，Teddy在三歲就發現了他對媽媽的鍋和平底鍋的熱愛。這名鼓手在伊利諾伊州芝加哥的福音現場音樂中長大，他四歲時在教堂進行第一次演出，從此後不曾回頭。

將近九年前搬到加州坎貝爾，現在三十歲的他已經成為圈內最努力的鼓手之一。他的履歷是如此令人印象深刻，即使他自己有時也很難相信自己是如此備受祝福。

Teddy擔任流行歌手98 Degrees和Britney Spears的音樂總監和鼓手（都在他們職業生涯的高峰期）。他的幾個音樂導演作品包括Deborah Cox、Kelly Price、Mary Mary和Ann Nesby（Sounds Of Blackness的前身）。Teddy還與Stevie Wonder、Herbie Hancock、Rod Stewart、Al Jarreau、Kirk Whalum和Kelly Clarkson錄製音樂。

他對巡迴演出一點也不陌生，Teddy曾與Frankie Beverly、LSG (Gerald Levert, Keith Sweat, Johnny Gill)、Queen Latifah和Bette Midler共同參與了The Backstreet Boys、Christina Aguilera及Maze的巡演。

Teddy還曾在The Image Awards、The Essence Awards、Billboard Awards、BET Awards、BET's Celebration Of Gospel（由Steve Harvey主持）、VH1 Disco Ball、VH1 Save The Music Concert擔任駐點鼓手。

在這些忙碌的工作之外，Campbell仍然找到時間真實保留自己的根本，帶領自己的福音團體《The Soul Seekers》。「我是樂團中的主唱，Eric Seats是鼓手，」Teddy解釋道：「我在兩首專輯曲目《What Would You Do?》和《He'll Make A Way》中演奏鼓。我們在鼓手/製片人Nisan Stewart爸爸的教堂進行了大部分的現場錄音。Nissan也是成員之一，「雖然他不演奏，但他唱歌。」The Soul Seeker贏得了2006年年度四重奏的Stellar Award，這是你在福音音樂中可以獲得的最高成就。

鼓手、音樂總監、歌手... Teddy擁有許多好名望，這位才華橫溢的音樂家無所受限。
