About Me

If you ask Tommy to give you a brief description of his life he'll tell you, "I jump in with both feet and never look back". Born in Cincinnati Ohio, but raised in Tampa Florida, Tommy's love of music has been part of his soul for as long as he can remember. "I grew up in a blue collar household, we didn't have much but we had music, lots and lots of music. I think I might have even sang my first words." At first glance, Tommy may appear a bit intimidating as you look up to his 6'3" stature, but be sure to keep looking and you will be greeted with an infectious smile and a welcoming handshake followed by some kind of quick witted humor. His classic country sound is topped with a mainstream twist. Dynamic vocals surround a powerful enthusiasm on stage which makes Tommy's songs and energy contagious. Since arriving in Nashville things have fallen in place better than he'd ever imagine. "When I got here, I met songwriter/singer Donnie Clark. I've been fortunate, in this business most people never find a trustworthy mentor but I have." Tommy's first CD entitled "American Dream" consists of five original and five cover songs. You'll be tapping your toes and singing along in no time. Talk has already begun for the second CD which will consist of all original music. In the meantime, Tommy has been busy writing new material, singing demos for writers and publishers along with performing any chance he gets. Recently voted Best New Male Vocalist for the month of October on NewCountryStar.com his presence in the industry has begun to be noticed. "I had a blast in the studio and can't wait to get back in there, but my love really exists in entertaining!" As the doors keep opening for Tommy, the future is looking bright for this up and coming country artist. "It's now or never. I don't want to look back at my life and ever wonder what if. I'll "chase the 'Neon Rainbow' until all the lights burn out. It's my passion."
