Tom Walker

Tom Walker, born in Kilsyth, Scotland, in 1991, developed an early interest in music, being introduced to various genres by his father. At age nine, after seeing AC/DC, he sought a guitar and later mastered multiple instruments, singing, and composing. Growing up in Knutsford, England, he was influenced by Ed Sheeran’s folk-pop style while attending the London College of Creative Media. Following a period of busking and networking, he began releasing singles through Relentless/Sony in 2016.

His career saw a significant turning point in 2017 with the release of “Leave a Light On,” which achieved widespread commercial success across Europe and earned him platinum status in several countries. This was followed by “Just You and I,” which became a prominent hit in the UK the subsequent year. Both tracks were featured on his debut album, “What a Time to Be Alive,” released in 2019. The album’s success further solidified his position in the music industry. In 2019, he received the Brit Award for Best Breakthrough Act, an accolade recognizing his impact and rapid ascent in the British music scene.

Walker continues to expand his discography, with his official website announcing his album “I Am” and a new single, “Home (feat. Tom Walker),” released in July 2025. He has also engaged in collaborations, including a partnership with Swedish pop star Zara Larsson on his album “What A Time To Be Alive.” Beyond his musical releases, Walker has partnered with organizations like CALM (Campaign Against Living Miserably) to promote mental health awareness through his music, notably with his single ‘Lifeline’.
