Inspired by artists such as Jack Johnson, Dave Mathews, Cat Stevens, and The Beatles Tom is a self taught accomplished songwriter and musician whose writing inspiration comes from past experiences both positive and negative.

Influences are everywhere, but one should be aware of how an influences effect you or, at least, attempt to be. One should always search for something to move them into becoming a better person, so they can become who they want to be. It can be difficult at times.
