Hi everyone,
I apologise for the lull in communication. Life can just catch up sometimes, I guess. I hope this finds you all safe and well and your families too. Here's another video for you to enjoy on N1M ; 'Wither (fractured smile)..
It's been really well received thus far and I'm super-proud of both the song and video. So, let's take it and share it as far and wide as we can, shall we?
Please message me with any feedback you have.
I always love to hear from you.
Thank you again for your support guys and I wish you and your families the very best this season has to offer.
Merry Christmas,
Tom
Hi Everyone,
I hope you're all safe and well. Your families too. There seems to be no clear resumption of normality just yet.
A big hello and welcome to our new subscribers!
If you guys get a minute, maybe you can check out my new song, 'I am Enough' with lyrics and original artwork. It's a tremendously positive and essential reinforcement of our self-worth and address to mental health. xx
Please feel free to share and comment.
I thank you kindly for your continued support.
Stay safe and well,
Tom
Hi everyone. I hope this finds you all safe and well. A big welcome to the new subscribers to this site. You are welcome and it’s great to connect with you. I recently had a website set up. On it you can find song clips, videos, links to the album, photos and news! I hope you find the time to check it out and share it.

Thank you all for your continued support. T
Hi everyone,
I hope this finds you all safe and well. First of all let me welcome our new and most recent subscribers.
Secondly, a huge thank you to you all for helping my single 'Cycle the Volcano' get to no.1 on the N1M Alternative Charts. It gave me a massive buzz to see it there and a real boost to push on with its promotion and of the whole album.
We did it together. I want to make that clear. Unless my fans are kind and supportive enough to give up their time and energy to help share the songs, the music will stagnate. So, thank you so much again.
I have attached the song for those who have yet to hear it and please, if you like it, do tell your friends!
I wish you all a great weekend and that you stay safe and healthy,
Tom

Hi everyone,
First of all, I'd like to wish you all a belated Happy Easter and hope that this finds you all well, healthy and happy.
I recently upgraded my account on n1m and also revamped my bio that had grown so stale and tired. On the site now, there are 2 new songs; 'Cycle the Volcano' & 'Wither' as well as the video for 'Cycle...'. I hope you can find the time to check them out and let me know what you think. And of course, if you feel like sharing my music on any of your social media platforms, then feel free.
Further news; My album is due for digital release on Friday week, April 24th. I'll keep you posted.
Thank you all for your support and patience. It means so much.
Stay safe,
Tom
