Professional session musician (VOX, Guitar & Bass or a songwriter, London Based. Genre doesnt phase me, I work to support artists projects and visions for their music. Worked alongside new artists ranging from Alex Hopkins to bands like McFly - able to provide a range or services with the best outcome in mind.

“Working with Tom is always really fun; his drive to produce something quality in writing sessions is so great to have in a group. He manages to strike a good balance between taking from influences and creating something unique, and is always quick to get what you’ve written recorded. He’s always prompt in getting back to you and doesn’t ever mess you about. A solid writer and top guy to have on a project” - Dougie Poynter, Sidequest LTD

“The best thing about writing with Tom is how he uses his ability to make both a melody and lyric out of a single word or concept. He also plays Bass for me and has become a key component in my band and its sonic identity.” - Alex Hopkins - Independent Artist

"Tom has a strong commercial songwriting instinct, able to write widely appealing catchy songs across a range of genres, whilst retaining artistic integrity through intelligent lyric writing. Coupled with his great work ethic, people skills and passion for the craft this makes Tom a serious songwriting prospect!” - Tim Hawes - Sugarbabes

Interview with Tom Baker

Q: How would you describe your style?
A: Nostaligic with a modern twist
Q: What's your strongest skill?
A: Strong ability to create solid lyrics, melodies and harmonies. Pre songwriting sessions, I will often have an artist send a reference track playlist and learn little characteristics and mannerisms said artists references use and utilise them in the session - often creating a seamlessly effortless chemistry when writing.
Q: What's your typical work process?
A: Write the song with the artist/band - then help through the arrangement process and anything else the artist may require. Session Work - Have a logic session with setlist, learn setlist and make notes alongside session - if needed and depending on instrument - I will create a number of presets for my Cortex.
Q: Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.
A: Project Songwriting, Session Work - Live or Studio, Live Tour, Music Direct
