Tomi

"Love is the only thing to live for – it's one of the main reasons I'm inspired to write songs," declares singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist, TOMI. "I feel it's the medicine for everyone's pain. And you can hear a lot of love and pain in these songs." The songs in question are the R&B jams on his debut, self-titled album, "TOMI"(Rosehip Records), a collection of deeply felt, sensual tunes reflecting this versatile Chicago-based artist's determination and struggle. TOMI, who played all the instruments and composed and produced the tracks, considers the album the distillation of his odyssey, driven by love and fueled by pain, to find his own sound.
