Tommy O's remarkable musical journey began at the tender age of three, when he first picked up the guitar and started playing the tunes he heard on the radio. As he grew older, his passion for music only intensified, and he soon found himself joining the R&B band Tease during his high school days.
This marked the beginning of a illustrious career that would see Tommy accompanying, writing, producing, and touring with a wide range of renowned artists, including Usher, Toni Braxton, TLC, New Edition, Wayman Tisdale, Maxwell, Melissa Manchester, Anastasia, Aaron Carter, and Janet Jackson. His work on Janet Jackson's Rhythm Nation 1814 album, particularly on the hit single "Black Cat," earned him a prestigious six-time platinum sales certification.
In 2009, Tommy was handpicked as the guitarist for Michael Jackson's highly anticipated This Is It tour, as well as the subsequent documentary film. Following this, he joined the house bands of The Late Show with George Lopez and Baisden After Dark, further solidifying his reputation as a talented musician.
Tommy's impressive publishing catalog boasts hundreds of composer and songwriter credits, and he is also credited as a writer on the King of Pop's iconic song "Black or White." In addition to his work as a musician, Tommy has also served as a founder and A&R scout at the independent record label Artistic Records, providing guidance and expertise to up-and-coming musicians.
In recent years, Tommy has continued to tour with the Jacksons and Tito Jackson on his solo projects, and has released several rock-inspired singles, including "She's My World," "Rollin' Now," and "I Want You." As a multi-talented artist, Tommy performs as lead vocalist, guitarist, writer, and producer on these singles.
