While it took Tom until his early 20s to start singing and writing songs, his musical inclinations were first piqued when he was 12. Falling to sleep at night, his neighbour would play classical guitar on his back deck and the sounds would filter through the trees and into Tom's room. A melodic influence which carries on through his current work.
Tom decided to devote 100% of his time to music in mid 2006. Since then he has toured constantly including shows with M. Ward, Fionn Regan, Josh Pyke, Old Man River, The Sleepy Jackson, Bob Evans, Alex Lloyd and Toni Collette, He was also one of the only unsigned artists to be added to the lineup for last year's Homebake.
With the help of indie producer d,’jour, Jamie Trevaskis from Junkship studios, Tom has put the finishing touches on his debut 7 track mini album “Hold Me Down†which was released independently late 2006.
