September 1st 2013, it’s amazing how time flies!
A year ago, I quit a job, sold my car, left Liverpool and came down to London to take my music to the next level. I was very blessed initially being able to secure a new job in the Hospital School and find a place to live. It’s been an incredible journey and I hope to give you a flying tour of my musical journey over the last year.
In early September I began recording my 3rd EP 'By the By'with Steve Sale; I had already recorded 2 EP's with a good friend Chunky at Tyro Studios 'Smiling Eyes' & 'Like the Sun'. My music has since had plays on radio stations across 3 countries & has been played on BBC Introducing and Amazing Radio!
In October I started approaching promoters trying to secure gigs. I struggled initially until Steve at The Castle kindly allowed me to play at his Open Mic night in Notting Hill. So I played my first gig in London (My boss came along! How awesome is that!?)! From then on I've never looked back, played around 40 gigs across London and more recently Oxford & Cambridge, including 4 festivals. Playing live has taught me an enormous amount and has been an incredible experience.
Late last year I set up a Facebook fan page and the response has been amazing and really humbling. www.facebook.com/tommoonmusic .It provides a great way for me to communicate with people who like my music! I have been really lucky making contacts, including the boys at ontsofa.com and Mitchell Peryer, and now have well over 19 videos on YouTube www.yotube.com/tommoon87 . The video for ‘Stay’ that Steve Sale created was featured on the official Coldplay website! How cool is that!?
In March I went to Liverpool to visit some mates for the weekend. My good friend Ben was there too and I played the boys my music late one night. Ben (or as he's known in the music world Awoma) started rapping on my track ‘Like the Sun’. I knew we had something straight away! I had never heard the collaboration of styles before and from that point on we started jamming, writing, recording and gigging together. A few weekends ago we went to the Tyro studios with Chunky and recorded the upcoming EP/album Island. My flatmate Gareth came down and played bass and Chunky played drums. The overall vibe of the tracks is awesome and I really hope you will enjoy the new material! Watch this space….
Thankyou so much for the continual support!!!! I hope the next year proves to be just as, if not more exciting than last year!
Much Love,
Tom
