Born in Laguna Beach, California to a musical family, Tommy is the son
of a jazz guitarist who is a long-time devotee of the music of Django
Reinhardt. In 2002 he decided to devote his studies exclusively to the Gypsy Jazz “Manouche” style. Since then he has expanded his genre to include influences of Romania and Hungary as well as Yugoslavian and Russian folk music.

His repertoire ranges from French waltzes to traditional folk music of Eastern Europe, poignant gypsy melodies to the swinging standards of the Hot Club of France. Tommy demonstrates his mastery of the guitar with blisteringly accurate technique. At just 21 years of age he is making a name for himself in the international gypsy jazz community and his work has taken him to such destinations such as Japan, England, Tahiti, Nowray and France.

Tommy has performed with acknowledged luminaries of the genre: Angelo Debarre, Andreas Oberg, Florin Niculescu, Tcha Limberger, Lolo Meier, Ludovic Beier and Stephane Wrembel. In 2005 he toured California with David Grisman and Robin Nolan on Amoeba Music’s Gypsy Caravan Tour. Most recently he performed with Grammy award winner Rickie Lee Jones at Largo and appeared with the Canadian platnium selling group The Lost Fingers. Tommy resides in Los Angeles and currently performs with his Jazz Manouche Quartet.
