Tom P grew up in Decatur, GA. He began writing, producing, and recording his own music at the age of 12 and performing as early as 16. Tom P was able to gain a notable reputation throughout the inner-city high schools as “the kid who rapped and was actually good at it.” Releasing two underground solo albums and packing out several major Atlanta venues during this time led to strong relationships with other local artists and producers developing into a movement of like minded artists that has continued to evolve.
