I am a musician from childhood, having studied classical piano and various other instruments and graduated from the Royal Academy of Music in London. Musical influences at home, however, were many and varied, from jazz to ragtime, rock to reggae, blues through swing.

My  dream was to write, arrange, play, sing and produce my own work in the way I hear it; I don't conciously immitate, emulate or replicate although of course all musicians are influenced by all music. And to some extent this dream has been achieved; I play all the instruments on my songs, apart from drums and bass and of course the tracks receive professional final mastering.

I write and play and sing the blues the way I sing the blues; it all comes from my heart and soul.

With much encouragement from friends and a beloved big brother with a well documented career as a rock/jazz bass player, my first ever single Can't Leave You Alone was released in October 2008 on Reverbnation and from nowhere climbed to the number 7 position in the Blues Chart there, where it stayed for 13 weeks. The Jazz Network at this time featured me and this song in their front page spotlight for 3 months.

This success was followed by similar charting with Put Your Hands On Me and then I Want You To Hold Me plus Won't See Me For Dust which all kept me in the top twenty of the Blues Chart. At this time, I also had the thrill of having three different songs in three different charts on Song Vault all at the number one spot!

The very latest release is How Wrong Could I Be which resulted in her being the featured artist on Global Thunda Network in Australia and has again brought me up the rankings in the Reverbnation Blues Chart for NZ plus the huge Global chart.

Success has also come from some more accoustic style tracks and a some traditional songs, such as my version of Red Red Rose designed with a film of Robert Burns' life in mind which resulted in being elected an Honorary member of the Robert Burns Sociey in Scotland.

This song can be heard on my second MySpace site:

where there is also my version of the old Irish melody
'Macushlah' released for St. Patrick's Day 2009 and charting
currently on Irish Radio -
plus the only real 'cover' that I have ever done which is
Love Letters - very very special.

And finally, Good Day and one other Silver Lining which are accoustic tracks,both of which have been adopted by radio stations as intros for specific shows.

Radio stations in 91 countries around the world are now
playing Tommie Brewster's music and yet the first album has
yet to be released - this is now ready to go and should
coincide with a visit to the USA this Fall.

Very recently several exciting reviews and blogs have been written about me and my music - so maybe you will check out these links: http://artseesdiner.com/OpenMicNight.html
