Tom Want

In the colourful tapestry of music, I discover my truest self—a blend of passion, practice, and raw emotion. I'm Tom, a drummer whose heartbeat syncs with life's rhythm. Music isn't just a job for me; it's my lifeline—a channel for my deepest feelings and a way to connect with the world. From highs of elation to the depths of introspection, every beat I play echoes with my essence, resonating with honesty and vulnerability. My musical journey began with an unwavering love for the art. Inspired by timeless melodies from bands like The Beatles and Led Zeppelin, I embarked on a quest to understand rhythm and melody. Now I draw inspiration from a diverse array of genres, including hip-hop, pop and jazz. Artists like Little Simz, Outkast, and The Japanese House infuse my musical landscape, enriching my sonic tapestry with their unique sounds and styles. I sought formal music education, earning my drumming grades and refining my skills under experienced mentors. But it wasn't until I stepped onto the stage that I truly found my voice. Live performances ignited my passion and revealed the transformative power of music. Through relentless practice and collaborations with talented musicians, I've honed my craft. From intimate gigs at iconic venues like Yes and The Ritz to thrilling tours across Europe with Phoebe Hall, each moment has propelled me towards musical excellence. Yet, beyond the applause and achievements lies a deeper purpose—to move hearts, stir souls, and evoke emotions through my music. Whether crafting intricate jazz rhythms or driving rock beats, my goal remains constant: to create unforgettable moments that linger in the hearts of listeners. As I anticipate the upcoming UK tour with Phoebe Hall and Lei Hope, I'm grateful for the chance to share my music far and wide. With each performance, I aim to transcend genres and expectations, delivering an experience that resonates deeply with all who listen. My music reflects who I am—an amalgamation of influences, experiences, and dreams. And as I continue along this rhythmic journey, I invite you to join me—to dance to life's beat and harmonize with the melodies of the soul. Because in the end, it's not just about the music we play; it's about the emotions we evoke and the connections we forge along the way.
