Growing up in a musical family, Tom had a passion for music from an early age. He bought himself his first set of beltdrives aged 16 and taught himself to dj. Going clubbing became a big part of his life, regularly attending Godskitchen and Gatecrasher and spending many summers of excess in Ibiza.
Moving to New Zealand after finishing School gave Tom is first chance to play out, promoting nights with friends in Auckland and taking the night around country. When he came home to to start a course at Birmingham University, he didn't let his passion for music die out, launching 'Remedy', a notoriously messy Tuesday night affair. Whilst other midweek nights fell by the wayside, Remedy retained a strong presence and Tom regularly warmed up for likes of Matt Hardwick.
With his sound evolving to a more tech-house orientated style, Tom was booked to play at Birmingham's Godskitchen; the club he had attended religiously for years. After a successful debut in 2005, he has been booked regularly ever since, sharing a bill with superstars such as Paul Oakenfold, Pete Tong, Eric Morillo and Armin Van Buuren, amongst others. Possibly the biggest testemony to Tom's ability to consistently rock the party was when he was asked to play at Godskitchen NYE 2005 with Ferry Corsten Headlining. Tom's sets are always guaranteed to deliver equal measures technical excellence and bouncability, as anyone who attended these events would tell you!
Tom has started to focus more of his time on producing now, learning from some of his friends who have already made names for themselves as producers; Funkagenda, Paul Thomas and Stupid Fresh, watch this space!
