Hi everyone and thanks for dropping by!
I believe that being a professional singer is down to dedication and business skills.
Only 1% of the population are genuinely tone deaf. For everyone else, no matter what your singing skills right now, it’s just a matter of working at it.
Raw talent helps. But, its not essential. Talent really can be learned.
With this website I aim to offer two things that will help you become a successful professional singer:
- Business and career advice for breaking into this competitive industry
- Vocal & performance technique advice to hone your singing/performing skills to that of a full time pro singer
With these two skill areas, anyone can carve a career singing.
Will I teach you how to win x-factor? NO. There are hundreds of thousands of people out there, like myself, making real money from singing. Only a handful of them achieved that through TV singing competitions.
If you want realistic solutions for getting a long term singing career, I’ve got them.
About Me – Tommo J Williams
Since 2007 I haven’t needed a regular job. I’ve been able to pay the bills and travel the world by being a paid singer and musician.
I’ve performed on 5 continents. I’ve lived and sung professionally in places as remotely different as France, Australia, Cambodia and Dubai. I also sung full time on cruise ships for 3 years, visiting amazing locations like Alaska, Greece, The Caribbean, Norway, Japan, and so many more.
The best thing is, I didn’t need to be famous to achieve this. I didn’t have to enter a TV singing contest. All I had to do was promote myself as a singer and apply for paid work.
When I started out I was a pretty rough singer. Poor technique led to me often losing my voice at gigs. I struggled with my range. Hitting those high notes was a strain.
Now? I’ve learned the control and technique to allow me to sing consistently well for 25+ hours a week. It just took practice. I’m still far from being the best singer in the world, but fortunately, I don’t need to be. Neither do you.
My singing has earned me money in many different ways over the years. From tributes to solo singing.
Just in case you don’t believe me 😉 Here is the promo reel from one of my longest running bands, Vitalized. And yes, it’s a bit rough around the edges but I’ve made a fantastic living from this band and others.
I always strive to be a better singer and so should you.
But, it’s also essential to accept that you should work with what you have NOW. Don’t hold back from getting out there and trying just because you aren’t as good as you want to be yet.
Just get started RIGHT AWAY.
If you don’t know where to start, I’ve got some great resources to help you:
