After his debut release ‘‘Dreaming of Forever’, Tom's following grew rapidly, and in April 2019, he became an official BBC featured artist, with his track ‘‘Hiraeth’. In February 2019, Tom started working closely with Sonder House Music, led by stellar musician Kyle McEvoy. Since then, Tom has released many singles, with ‘‘Hopedale’ appearing on SonderHouse's ‘‘Recollections Vol.3’, which was featured in Spotify's mega Peaceful Piano and Instrumental Study playlists. He also released his debut EP ‘‘Bliss’ and his latest album ‘My Happy Place’ through the SonderHouse label. In 2020, Tom started to work with the record label 1631 Recordings, and has since released his first single with them ‘‘Opia’, backed by Decca Publishing and Universal Music Group. Recently, Tom released ‘‘Avenoir’, as part of SonderHouse’s ‘‘Recollections Vol.4’, shortly followed by a collaboration with Canadian pianist Jesse Brown, called ‘‘Notes from Tom’, which was added to 6 Spotify editorial lists within the first 4 days of release, including Peaceful Piano. Since then, Tom has signed on to many other labels, including Andante Piano and Yellow Rose Records, and releases music under his own self-exclusive label Hammer and String for 6 of his monikers. Recently, Tom signed a publishing deal with Danish Publishers ExoPAC Recordings, with whom he released the beautiful Quintain EP, which landed editorials such as Peaceful Piano, Calm, Calm Vibes, and many more. The main idea of Tom's music is to offer a place of relaxation in the midst of the hustle and bustle of day to day life. He hopes that you enjoy the music as much as he enjoys composing it for you :)
