Despite his youth, Sunderland-based newcomer Tom A. Smith has already achieved more than most artists do in a lifetime.
Tom played his first ever gig aged 8, supporting local psychedelic rockers Detroit Social Club at Newcastle’s legendary venue ‘The Cluny’. He performed at Glastonbury before he was even in secondary school, and he was handpicked by Tim Burgess to play his stage at Kendall Calling, making him the festival’s youngest ever performer.
He has played live with some big names – local hero Sam Fender, Catfish & The Bottlemen, The Mysterines, and superstar Elton John.
Tom’s debut single, ‘Wolves’, received airplay on BBC’s Radio 1 and 6 Music, Radio X, CRW and Triple J. The track also gained impressive Spotify, Apple Music and Deezer playlist support.
Since then, Tom A. Smith has garnered support from industry tastemakers like Jack Saunders, and was named Apple Music’s ‘Up Next Artist’ and Amazon Music’s ‘Breakthrough Artist of the Month’.
