As a young singer Tom first began solo performances busking on Sydney’s Northern Beaches when he was nine, from which as a ten year old he was invited to participate in the 2004 Manly Youth Busking By The Sea Competition. He went on to win that competition in the under 13 division and then the open division of National Busking Competition both that year and subsequently in 2005 as well.

His songwriting career began at the tender age of 11 when he wrote a song in 6th grade class called “Back Home”. Tom says “it was about going shopping with Mum and not wanting to be there”. His dislike of shopping aside, the song won him awards for original composition in the Music and Arts Talent Search Teen Writers competition in early 2005.

By 2007 Tom was touring with Guy Sebastian on his national tours playing sold out shows all over Australia. He also played a series of shows with Diesel at the Vanguard in Sydney.

Other notable gigs include performing as the pre-match entertainment for a Sea Eagles home game in 2006 in front of a 17,000 strong crowd, the Rip Curl Pro Music Festival at Bell’s Beach, Layne Beachley’s annual gala charity event for the Layne Beachley Foundation with INXS and various high profile events during Australian Fashion Week 2006.

Quite a storied career for one so young, and yet it doesn’t stop there. Tom has also honed his presenting and acting skills through projects for Disney, Channel 7’s Sydney Weekender and a brand new Disney series called “As the Bell Rings” for which Tom wrote the songs he will perform as part of the show. He has also appeared on Today Tonight, Cyber Shack and the Channel 10 news.

Despite his age, 15, Tom’s self titled debut album has been a long time coming. Having already released an EP in 2007 and been on a US writing trip working with some of the best writers out of NY, LA and Nashville, Tom has produced an album littered with powerful acoustic pop songs that he is hoping will show that he is a serious artist and musician.

Tom describes his sound as “a mixture between Jason Mraz and John Mayer. I'm happy with my sound on the new album as it isn't the usual stereotypical 15 year old pop sound. I'm really trying to prove that I appreciate true music. There is a lot of acoustic sound on the album. It was all live recorded so it has a very organic / natural feel to it. There are also strings in almost every song which gives a really nice addition to the music”.

Citing his goals for this album as “hoping people get to listen to it and allow themselves to get into it because I think it is an album of songs that if you close your eyes and get into you will enjoy”.

And for 2009 in general? “To get the album released because it has been a lot of fun but hard work in the making, hopefully the album goes well and people like it. To be able to continue to write and perform, working with different songwriters and artists to keep on learning and improving my music ability and to hopefully play some big shows!”

With his talent, passion and down to earth attitude Tom’s goals will be a talent to watch in 2009 and, as he is hoping, for many years to come.

Come Home
Tom Jordan Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Looking outside my window
Don't know what I'll find
It's harder to see so clearly
With you on my mind
Sometimes I can feel you breathing
And I can't stay away
It's so hard to stop this feeling
I can't go another day

Where did you go
How don't you know
That I can't do this on my own for another night
So lets make it right
I've been on my own for far too long
So baby just come home

Mondays are even longer when you're not around
Without you it's like a love song without any sound
So please don't just walk away
Without you I'm not me
I'll do anything to make you stay
Cause you mean everything

Where did you go
How don't you know
That I can't do this on my own for another night
So lets make it right
I've been on my own for far too long

Where did you go
How don't you know
That I can't do this on my own for another night
So lets make it right
I've been on my own for far too long

So baby just come home

So baby just come home
So baby just come home
