The requirements were the artist have a set number of original songs to preform in front of the crowd gathered at the venue.

The rest is history and up to today his songwriting still reflects the different types of music.
After a period of time playing original songs with one acoustic guitar and vocals, Tom decided to enter the studio and record a some of his material.
