Influenced by the house beats of the USA, European style melodies and combined with the driving vocal sound of hometown Birmingham, Tom Ford is a DJ with a feel and love for House Music. The love affair began in the mid 00's working in bars and nightclubs and identifying the sound that influences his music to date. It began with a few catchy, crowd pleasing, vocal and electro tracks he would play alongside the established Midlands DJs of the time, which sparked the love of the industry. 

More commercial style sets followed and a growing reputation was gained amongst the crowds, promoters and club owners. This lead to Tom  into the world of promoting his own brand and club nights, getting a deeper understanding about the business of DJing and growing his address book of musical contacts. 

A six month spell in Sheffield began as a resident playing commercial and classic house music after a UK wide DJ competition further increased his reputation. It was at this stage he carved a real desire for perfection in his sets; preferring blending tracks together instead of the quick drop and play style of many others. 

This blending technique differentiated himself from others and lead him into the deep, tech and soulful house scene. Returning to Birmingham to play residences with this new style of music, Tom began working on producing his own tracks influenced by Defected, CR2, Soul Heaven and local indie labels, which is evident in the style he currently plays. 

Ambitious future projects drive Tom through this journey of house music - a seasoned performer with a fixed direction.
