Tom Milek

It's artist's just like this guy that give me the inspiration to write this blog and share it with you all every week.  Every now and then I feel like I have the privilege of stumbling onto a piece of gold, a musician that truly excites me and stirs up the emotions that define my love and passion for music.  This guy has done it, he has put a smile on my dial and lifted my spirits, I hope he does the same for you......

Tom Milek possesses crazy amounts of raw talent, the exciting part is he is a long way from reaching his full potential.  That being said, his maiden voyage as a singer songwriter is fantastic! The debut EP Love & Ambition was released earlier this year and contains songs originally written as a 16 year old!

His songs are simple and honest, his story telling ways directly reflect his life experience and he hides nothing in describing them.   Love and longing, depression and drowning of sorrows are depicted perfectly throughout his music, he places himself front and centre and invites the listener straight through the front door of his heart and mind.

Melancholy and honest are two of the most common adjectives used to describe Tom Milek. He walks you through that 'all to familiar' period when you were young and the life lessons were unknowingly being taught and were still being learned.  His song writing skills scream maturity however lyrically his music corals the innermost private thoughts of the youth.  He pens his songs with clarity, describing the battle with first loves, lust and self doubt so vividly it will have you wiping your brow with relief that this incredibly intense part of growing up is in the past.

The song I am introducing you to is called 'Viscous Curves' (click on the link below) and is a perfect example of Tom's skills as a musician and also his vulnerability and honesty as a person.  Unfortunately there is no video yet (not even on youtube) but I promise you don't need it, this song is amazing.  He delivers this love story from both the boy and girls perspective, if you only listen to this only once I will be extremely surprised!

Por favor disfrute....
