If you're not feeling your feels, what are you really doing? TOMI invites us to weather our emotions with her, to explore the deep cinematic sonic universe of Mom-rock, and shows us why she's second to Nun.
Check out TOMI at http://www.thenametomi.com and @thenametomi.
In this episode we begin at TOMI's early “out”ing in the suburbs of Connecticut, move through her love-hate relationship with her label, follow along as she undergoes her recovery and transitions back to the life of an independent artist… all the while rediscovering her purpose through musical expression.
TOMI is an artist whose musical journey is deeply intertwined with her identity and experiences, and she has channeled her life's complexities into her music, creating songs that resonate with themes of love, identity, and the quest for authenticity.
Her musical style is a blend of raw emotion and eclectic influences and it mirrors the narratives in her own life – stories of fierce individuality and vulnerability, tales of being a queer artist, thoughts on the importance of representation and visibility, and reflections on the broader societal challenges facing humans today.
TOMI has shows happening soon, so keep an eye on the website to see tour dates as they pop up.
