Tom Higgenson was born on February 22, 1979, in Villa Park, Illinois. He co-founded the Plain White T’s in 1997 with high school friends Ken Fletcher, Dave Tirio, and Steve Mast. The band initially gained an underground following, performing in basements and clubs around Chicago. In 1999, Higgenson was involved in a car accident that fractured several vertebrae. This experience led him to approach songwriting with a renewed focus on meaningful lyrical content.
The band’s 2002 self-financed album, “Stop,” attracted the attention of Fearless Records. Following lineup changes in 2003, with Tim Lopez, Mike Retondo, and De’Mar Hamilton joining, the band released “All That We Needed” in 2005. This album featured “Hey There Delilah,” a song that propelled the band to national recognition. In 2006, after signing with Hollywood Records, they released “Every Second Counts,” which included a re-recorded version of “Hey There Delilah.” The song reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100 in 2007 and earned two Grammy nominations. The band continued to release albums, including “Big Bad World” in 2008, which featured the singles “1, 2, 3, 4” and “Natural Disaster,” and “The Wonders of the Younger” in 2010, which included “Rhythm of Love.”
In 2015, the band released “American Nights” through Megaforce Records after conflicts with their previous label. Plain White T’s re-signed with Fearless Records in 2017 and released “Parallel Universe” in 2018. In 2020, Dave Tirio left the band, making Higgenson the sole remaining founding member. After releasing several singles, the band released their self-titled album in November 2023. Higgenson has also explored independent ventures, founding the Chicago-based label Humans Were Here in 2017.
