[1] In 1995, he joined a band formed by members Jesse Vest, Travis Meeks and Mat Taul.
Despite the quick rise to fame, Whitener along with the other original members of the band were fired by Meeks.
In 2014 Whitener, and the other original Days of the New band members Jesse, Matt and Travis reunited for their 'Full Circle' Tour.
The band was to release an EP later in the Fall of 2014, but once again the original lineup malfunctioned, causing Jesse, Matt and Todd to leave the group.
After the dismissal from Days of the New, Whitener and the other two members would form the band C-14 along with their new lead singer, Hugo Ferreira.
Later, drummer Mat Taul was arrested on drug charges in 2007, and Whitener gave his own farewell announcement on the band's website shortly after, citing feelings of stagnation that caused him to grow tired of the band's struggle to succeed.
As of November 2020, Todd Whitener had finished recording the debut album of his new band Blisskrieg, along with former Eye Empire and Submersed vocalist Donald Carpenter, bassist Jesse Vest, and drummer Mat Taul, both former bandmates of Todd's from the bands Days of the New and Tantric.
