About Tom
I’ve been writing songs for 25 years, released 4 albums, and toured across Europe, currently signed to an indie record label. My work spans post-punk, experimental, industrial, minimal, dark wave, krautrock, punk, garage rock, and other counter-culture genres. I specialise in helping artists turn raw emotions—fears, anxieties, desires—into songs that genuinely express who they are.

My approach is practical and hands-on, rooted in solid songwriting fundamentals. We start by exploring emotional states, developing a concept or character, and experimenting with word association and phonetics. From there, we build the song—chord progressions, structure, and rewrites—always making sure it works even stripped back. I also guide you through demoing techniques using DAWs and home recording setups. Beyond songwriting, I can help shape your artistic image: artwork, photography style, stage presence, and subliminal narrative in your work. The goal is to create music that is authentic, powerful, and artistically cohesive. My method isn’t about trends or formulas—it’s about finding your voice and translating it into songs that resonate. Whether you’re just starting out or looking to refine your craft, I focus on helping artists write genuinely expressive songs while developing a distinctive and compelling artistic identity. I can also advise on the industry side of things including publishing, syncs, PPL and PRS. My projects, bands, and songs can be shared on request. I've written a lot under artistic pseudonyms that can't be shared publicly.
