Chicago-based indie pop-rock artist Tommy Mills captivates listeners with catchy yet intricate compositions that linger in your mind. Originally from Highland Park, IL, Tommy has been crafting music since grade school. Though his main genre is indie pop-rock, he is versatile across multiple styles, making him an ideal collaborator for a range of musical projects. His raw, authentic approach favors self-expression over technical perfection, and his lyrics blend humor, irony, and emotional depth, creating a unique musical experience. Tommy’s influences include '60s legends like The Beatles, The Kinks, and Harry Nilsson, and his music reflects a journey of growth and openness. He holds an MFA in Production, Technology, and Innovation from Berklee College of Music (Valencia Campus) and has studied songwriting at NYU’s Steinhardt School. Among his standout projects is his latest EP, a six-song collaboration with Grammy-winning producer Neal Pogue and multiple members of Earth, Wind & Fire, set for an upcoming promotional launch. His recent LP, A Message From Your Mind, produced by Salim Nourallah, delves into mindfulness, ego, and emotional well-being, showcasing Tommy’s evolving introspection. As a versatile composer and musical director in Chicago’s comedy scene, Tommy has directed and composed music for The Revival, Second City Grad Revue, and various indie comedy groups. His skills in piano, production, and live performance make him a valuable partner for anyone seeking a songwriter, composer, or musical director.
