Recently signing with major record label EMI Tommy Ill´s persistence with his music career seems to be paying off. With his singles Bird Bath and Shaky Clouds playing regularly on Kiwi Fm and bnet Stations and recently completing a NZ tour for his Bird Bath single and scoring yet another NZ On Air video grant for his song Living Dead. Things seem to be looking up for Tommy Ill.
Tommy Ill is most generous with his music and offers free downloads of his E.P´s on his website www.tommyill.com. The Day We Became Models is a Live Tommy Ill and Buck Beuchamp EP recorded at Red Bull Studios in Auckland and Toast and Tea Kettles is Tommy Ills debut E.P featuring songs such as Bill Cosby and I’m so famous. You can also buy his self titled debut album and his Come Home Mr Ill E.P on Itunes or where ever good music is sold.
I remember once describing Tommy Ill as just one of many lost in the wilderness of New Zealand music in a scene-less sub genre of Hip Hop that was attended by rock n roll hipsters who really just came to watch the supporting rock band. All that seems to be slowly changing for Tommy Ill and years of slashing and burning through the wilderness seems to be paying off. So on behalf of the rest off us quirky alternative white rapper types in this small little country of ours. Thanks for breaking through Tommy Ill!
Check out the video to Bird Bath.
