Artist's Biography

London multi-instrumentalist, producer, and singer-songwriter Tommy Down’s soulful single ‘Mrs Blue’, off his 2024 album 21st Century Living, has garnered over 5.7 million Spotify streams alone, earning him support from the likes of Radio X and Earmilk - and a dedicated following which cemented his reputation as a rising talent in soulful music. Tommy is gearing up to release an EP later in 2025, recently releasing its first single, the dreamy psych rock track ‘Do You Want It All?’, which premiered with globally renowned tastemaker CLASH Magazine.

Tommy Down has worked with acclaimed producers such as Jeffrey Silverman and Grammy-nominated hitmakers Jon Shave and Jason Pebworth of Invisible Men. He has graced the stages of events like Camden Rocks Festival, headlined by Frank Turner. Notably, Tommy has had six of his songs featured in just as many episodes across all three seasons of HBO’s hit drama series Industry, co-created by his brother Mickey Down.

Tommy Down is a Camden-based musician whose journey began at fourteen, combining influences from jazz, rock, and soul. Tommy has deep musical roots, with his grandfather singing for WWII troops. A former member of the Bristol-based jazz band BUJO that toured Europe, he later returned to London to produce a soul album. Tommy continues to perform across London, blending his rich UK-Ghanain heritage with a passion for storytelling through music. Known for his raw, heartfelt performances reminiscent of Paolo Nutini and Tame Impala, he draws inspiration from a wide array of artists including Marvin Gaye, Mazzy Star, Radiohead, Oasis, Blur, David Bowie, and Michael Kiwanuka, to name but a few. Now taking the reins and producing his own music and performing live with a backing band, his forthcoming EP promises a psychedelic rock and soul fusion inspired by Radiohead and Mitski.
