SoundClick artist: Tom Hellmuth - I have an array of styles from electronica to acoustic to horror movie sounding soundtracks, come ha

This is some music that I am experimenting with. I play every genre that i can possibly get into so picking one genre was hard, I will probably upload more than just electronica. Ive written so much music that i just want to put it all out there and myspace only allows you so many songs so i can put that much up there so here is another outlet and here is where i find alot of music that I am into so HERE YOU GO!

Why this name?

This is all solo stuff so it's just my name.

Do you play live?

I play shows at my university, parties, house shows, whatever and wherever. I am always ready to play and share my music with others. I am also an actor so i love entertaining others, and it entertains ME to do so. I also do live shows on blogtv.com where my show has been features several time on the home page of the website.

How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?

It is way more accessible for kids to find new music, yeah it sucks that artist don't get the money that they deserve for their work, but i guess that's the way to cookie crumbles. It's a new world and mp3's have taken over!

Would you sign a record contract with a major label?

If it was an option, i'm sure there would be other labels to work with, i wouldn't want those labels messing with my music and my sound to fit what they want.

Band History:

I have been performing in one way or another since kindergarden. I played the trumpet and sang in choir from fourth grade until 8th grade. Then i sold my trumpet and bough a crappy guitar which i messed with for a while teaching myself with the help of lessons for like 3 months. I soon picked up the drums, bass, and keyboards. Ive played in punk, emo, metal, meatalcore, hardcore, acoustic, pop, etc. bands. Now i just like to listen and try everything. I like to take what Ghandi did with religion and apply it to music, so i go out and try to play all different styles of music and then come back with a better understanding of my own style.

Your influences?

Ghandi, The Rolling Stones, Max Bemis, Sonny Moore, Aphex Twin, musicals, the matches, and my life.

Favorite spot?

DC, Tennessee
