​A life-long music nerd, Tom's entire adult history has been spent working in the music industry. During and after uni he worked at Cardiff venue Tramshed. He then opened a record store, during which time he also began pursuing his life-long aim; music journalism. After two years running the shop, he packed it in to solely focus on journalism and radio plugging. As well as working with LOST, Tom is a freelance journalist with bylines at NME, Clash, DIY and various other outlets. He was also a judge on the 2024 Welsh Music Prize. He hopes to soon write a book about Welsh music, but don't ask him when he plans on getting started.
