Tommy was born and brought up in London to acting and singing parents. He credits his love and passion of music to the constant sounds played in the family house and to the amazingly varied cultures that frequent the city.

"At any given moment you could hear Reggae Bass from the Basement, Dance Beats from the Ground Floor, Rock Guitar from the second floor, Classical Strings from the third, Moroccan wailing from the cab coming down the street and my dad singing Sinatra in the garden!"

As a DJ, Tommy traveled the globe playing music in some of the Worlds most renowned clubs, including regular sets at Ministry Of Sound and Cream in the UK Sound Factory, Twilo in the US and Space in Ibiza. Through DJing he developed a keen understanding and love of the Groove.

While as a DJ Tommy discovered and produced the massive #1 hit "I'm Too Sexy" for Right Said Fred (#1 in 20 countries) in 1991. This started him on the Writing and Production road.

His production for Catatonia's #1 Album Equally Cursed and Blessed earned him the Best Producer award from Q magazine in 2000.

In recent years Tommy has Co-Written and Produced hit songs for Kylie "More More More", Janet Jackson "Slo Love" and Sophie Ellis Bextor "I Believe".

Tommy has been instrumental in finding and developing the careers of both KT Tunstall and Corrine Bailey Rae. He Co-Wrote and Produced the Singles "Under The Weather" and "Stoppin' The Love" for KT and "I'd Like Too" for Corinne. Both Artists albums achieved #1 status in the UK and Top 10 in the US.
