Welcome!
"It’s been my dream since I was 12 to be on stage in front of thousands of fans and they sing every word to one of my songs. My goal is to have my music relate to someone during a tough time in their life, and the song brings them solace. A feeling that they’re not alone."
If you have arrived at this site, that means something has piqued your interest. Whether you have heard my music, want to support in our non-profit community work, or just curious to see what's going on:
Thank you.
I consider this the landing page and accumulation of all the hard work throughout this first year.
This has been a year full of pursuing music, trying build a community to give power to those who need it, and a continuous journey of learning who I am as an individual.
So again: thank you.
You being here means that there is a possibility of a bridge being built between our lives in some sort of way, so I hope you can accept me with open arms as we travel down this journey we call life.
With love,
TommyPAPI
