Born Turner Van Pelt Kniffin, December 22 1980. Grew up in Boston. Moved to New York City in 1999 at the age of 18 and have lived there on and off ever since. I have self-released 6 LP length albums:
2000- "Turner Cody"
2001- "This Springtime", "Who Went West"
2002-"Chills" with Andre Herman Dunne.
2003- "The Cody Choir", "The Class Act; Act One" (co-written with Tommy Eisner).
I recently compiled material from the first five albums into the "Turner Cody Pocket Manual 2000-2003". I also self-released a book of poetry entitled "The Return of the High Priestess and other Poems".
My only commercial release to date is on the compilation "Antifolk Vol.1" released by Rough Trade in 2002. Jim Flynn, Ish Marquez, Adam Green, Kimya Dawson, Seth Hebert, and Dianne Cluck among others are on it as well.
I now live in Brooklyn with my lovely and sweet girlfriend Lizzy.
