About Me



Tom studied music under the auspices of Melbourne's Public Transport System. Tom writes songs on trams and fills pages with thoughts that change shapes into patterns and from patterns form music. Sometimes when the 96 rattles through Carlton the score is full of joy, other times it is stained with angst but it is always full of life in it's flawed perfection.

Nestled under the wing of Rowland's production house, Hive Projects, 16 Millimetre have just completed their debut album. They are the first signing to Blac List management.
