Tom picked up a guitar when he was about yay high. (Imagine placing your hand at about waist height.) He developed an affinity with the beautiful stringed box and from that moment on, performed with it throughout his school days and adventures around Europe and California.

Along the journey, a fountain pen and leather-bound notebook was always at his side, scrawling lines and lyrics whenever the moment took him. Inspired by artists like Dylan and Waits he soon developed a natural feel for crafting a song or two.
