TOMI — Current Clients

Sometimes we have to leave everything behind in order to evolve. Songwriter/Producer Pam Autuori, who performs as TOMI (she/her), found herself on that journey a few years ago. On her upcoming album “Late Bloomer” - produced by Autuori - she experiments with her dynamic vocal range and pushes the boundaries on self reflection and impulsivity. The lyrics are thoughtful and blend effortlessly with the production, making the listening experience a visual sonic landscape. TOMI’s style is characterized by ferocious guitar and resounding vocals—an unfettered, urgent, and emotionally supercharged sound that was forged from a ruthless determination to sing, play, and do things her own way, even in the face of life’s obstacles. For Autuori, music has been a sanctuary since coming out at age 12 in suburban Connecticut.

In “Late Bloomer” TOMI embraces a new musical sensibility while building on the sweeping emotional range of TOMI’s prior releases (2018’s What Kind Of Love EP and 2021’s Sweet, Sweet Honey). Leaning outward and reflecting on her twenties when she was living in New York City and “partying day and night and night and day.” The album's themes include leaving everything behind to become a nun, taking mushrooms and looking in the mirror and moving across the country to start anew - inevitably facing the past you brought with you. The album launches with the lead single If You Tried an unfettered anthem about letting go of blame and moving on, middle finger in the air, after a long term breakup.

Autuori’s desire to connect with her audience on an energetic level has made TOMI a powerful draw. The live show, and much of the album, consists of a straight-outta-the-90s power trio - with Cupcake (Riley Bray) on bass, Kevin Brown on drums and Autuori shredding on guitar and vocals. The live show shifts and morphs enhancing the emotional dynamics of the album and bringing the whirlwind of TOMI full circle.
