Born in Cincinnati, Ohio but raised a Tampa
Florida boy. Tommy's love of music has been part of his soul for
as long as he can remember. "I would just belt out a tune
anywhere, in the shopping line at the grocery store, in a parking lot,
all kinds of odd places whenever the mood struck me. Also, I sang
in the school chorus back in the day, but it was so uncool back then,
and I was such a dork in those days, I just never kept at it",
recalls Tommy.
He takes me back to some of his singing memories while he was
in the military. "At night, after a brutal day of training, the boys
and I would sit around and sing 'til all the beer was gone. Ahhh,
those were some good times. It was during that time in my life when I
knew I wasn't going to be happy unless I was entertaining."
With the support of his wife, family and friends Tommy finally
decided, "It's now or never. I don't want to look back and say
what if?." So he said his goodbyes and hit the road for Nashville
to "chase that 'Neon Rainbow' as it's said".
Since arriving in Nashville things have fallen in place better
than he'd ever imagined. His first cd entitled "American Dream"
consists of five original songs and five covers. "The originals on
this cd are so well written (by Donnie Clark) you can't help but love 'em.
You'll be tapping your toes and singing along in no time", says
Tommy. Talk has already begun for the second cd which will consist
of all original music. "I had a blast in the studio and can't
wait to get back in there, but my love really exists in entertaining and
being on stage!" As the doors keep opening for Tommy, the future is
looking bright for this up and coming country artist.
