He is most noted for being the bass player and back-up singer in the band Slash featuring Myles Kennedy and the Conspirators, as well as for being the front man of The Age of Electric.

Born and raised in Lanigan, Saskatchewan, the prolific Canadian national began showing an interest in music and performance at an early age. In the 1980s he started playing with the covers band, The Wicked Infants, and in 1989 he moved to Calgary and started writing his own material. He formed the band Electric (which later became The Age of Electric), with his brother John, and their friends, the brothers Kurt and Ryan Dahle. They released a couple of EPs and an album independently, and after performing at Music West in Vancouver in 1995, they were signed by Mercury records. They won a Canadian Rock Award for Best West Coast Independent Artist soon after. The band continued to be successful throughout the 1990s, until it dissolved in 1998. Kerns then started up and joined various other groups, including Static in Stereo, Faster Pussycat, Sin City Sinners, and Slash. Most recently, he started a new hard rock band, Minefield. In 2017, The Age of Electric reformed for a 20th year reunion tour. Outside of music, Kerns made his acting debut in 1997 in the romantic music drama, Horsey.

Kerns regularly connects with his huge fanbase through Facebook, Twitter and Instagram, posting about his professional and personal life both in and out of the recording studio, as well as on and off the stage. He also has his own official website, toddkerns.com.
