Tom Williams

This is Tom Williams from Tunbridge Wells, United Kingdom.
I'm a 19 year old singer song writer and artist, currently studying in London and living in Kent. I perform alone with a guitar and a harmonica, and my music is influenced by artists such as Dylan, Springsteen, Nick Drake, Elliott Smith and Pete Doherty. I've been playing and writing my own songs for about 4 years, and since leaving school am now gigging a lot more. I play a lot in local venues like The Forum and The Grey Lady Music Lounge, both in Tunbridge Wells, and am starting to do more gigs in London.
