Tom the Lion writes, plays and produces every note of his music.
With two Album of the Month accolades from Rough Trade Shops, for both his compilation of vinyl EPs 'The Adventures of Tom the Lion' in 2011 and his debut album 'Sleep' earlier this year, he can be found in a distinct place away from the sea of buzz bands, quietly developing his art.
Which is quite a long way from Leamington Spa, where Tom was born and from an early age learned to drum. Education arrived both from esoteric figureheads, but also from masters of the melodic: "I had quite a strong Jazz influence from my Dad when I was growing up. We'd listen to lots of Miles Davis and Chet Baker. But always alongside more classic songwriters. My mum was a big fan of Rickie Lee Jones and Bob Dylan, very melodic songwriters with high production values.”
Playing drums in bands from the age of 15 he finally started to write and produce instrumentals informed by the likes of DJ Shadow. But he needed to find a voice to complete the story; which is when necessity drew him to use his own.
After a Summer of his first US shows, European festival appearances and UK radio sessions, alongside releasing a single 'Silent Partner', Tom the Lion continues on his own unique path.
