Your name:
Tom Parrish.
Where are you
from?
Manly, Sydney,
Australia.
Artist name:
Thomas James.
How would you
describe you and your music?
Indie-inspired, alternatively produced folk
singer/songwriter. Or alternative
indie folk.
Who are your
main influences musically?
Matt Corby,
James Vincent Mcmorrow, Dry the River.
What do you hope
to achieve in music?
I haven’t set
myself an ultimate goal. As if I get there, the euphoria will expire and I will
set myself another goal for the future and will always aspire to be more. And
if I don’t get there then I will deem myself a disappointment and curse myself
for trying, so rather I am happy with how things are going, and hope for good
things to follow.
What has been
the highlight of your career so far, and why?
Playing at
Glastonbury 14 with Freddie Vernon and Co was amazing. As far as my solo career
goes it would have to be headlining The Fleece in Bristol.
And what’s the
moment you want to forget?
Hmm, that’s a
tough question. Embarrassment never killed anyone so I don’t cringe at my past
embarrassing moments too much. Most things in the past are best left in the
past, otherwise we forget about the task at hand. Though there are things I
wish I could un-see, like Hong Kong market place practises.
If you had to
pick just one of your songs to represent your music, what would it be and why?
Probably Crimson
Charcoal which hasn’t been released yet. It has delicate instrumentals and a
heavy hitting chorus with a message that means a lot to me, and is probably the
most real topic of all my songs. The song just came together both when I was
writing it and recording it really nicely and how I hoped.
Where can we
listen to it?
The EP is out now and available for listening to on Soundcloud so you can
follow me there, or on Facebook.

Anything else
you’d like to say about your music that I forgot to ask?
Please do listen it, I’m quite proud of it and would
love to share it with you. It has been an exciting and eventful year bringing
this EP together so it really means a lot to me when people take the time to
listen.
