This week we’re focusing on an artist which is really out of this world: Both the Daily Telegraph and The Sunday Times have described Tom Hickox as ”truly original and out of this world” and believe us they were not wrong. If you were present at the SXSW Festival in Austin, Glastonbury and The Big Chill then Tom Hickox is bound to ring a huge Big Ben bell!
Already drawing comparisons to incredible singer songwriters like Leonard Cohen, Tom Waits and Randy Newman, Tom’s distinguished ability to write amazing lyrics, sprung from his love for literature, and produce incredible melodies, something he inherited from his parents who were both active in the music industry, shine through in his song ‘The Angel of The North’, which he’s given out for free.
The track which will be featured on his debut album ”War, Peace And Diplomacy”, is so incredibly strong and connects with you instantly, shows why we have chosen this young man to be our ‘one to watch’ this week, as the exposure of his talent is simply astonishing. Talking about delivering such high quality on material, Tom explains: “I need to write hundreds of songs to get to the point where I am consistently delivering material that resonates on more than just a simple level, and that I care deeply about.” Spoken as a true artist!
With the support of his management and record company, the support of PR, papers and blogs, this man should get all the opportunities to launch him into massive stardom. Download your free copy of ‘The Angel of the North’ below:
