I am tommyve and I'm from Central New York, but I've lived in Buffalo for almost 10 years now. My life has been nothing short of a rollercoaster ride, but one thing has always remained true; My love for music. Music has always been a deep-rooted passion of mine, especially the way people are able to connect sounds with emotions, and find accurate ways to express them through poetic musical dialogue. I have a big affinity for words/sounds and the way they're used in rhythmic progressions. I love clever idioms, appropriate alliteration, and tongue-in-cheek phrases that engage curiosity. As a performer myself, I aim to twist the idea of gender roles to give my own blend of masculine and feminine artistic expression. I want to confuse people, but also leave them wanting more.

It has always been a dream of mine to work with songwriting greats such as Justin Tranter, Max Martin, Royksopp, Kesha, Brendon Urie, Lady Gaga, Madonna, and numerous other artists that have paved the way for an artist like myself. I've had dreams where I'm in writing sessions with theses artist, or where I can only hear audio feed of our voices singing together, or even sometimes I just see lyrics being written out in front of me as if it were a lyric video playing before my mind.

All of these experiences that seem to go beyond my scope of understanding and in other realms of my own consciousness are what tells me that this is what I'm meant to do. This is my calling. This is where I am fulfilled.
