Last week we spoke to Tommy Marsh about the release of his latest single Ladies, we got to chance to talk to him about the release and his music.
Congratulations on the release of “Ladies”. It feels like a very personal track. Can
you share more about the journey that inspired this song? The song came to me
when I was trying to get back into my roots by using my singing voice, and rap
voice combined. I was listening to Justin Timberlake’s album
FutureSex/LoveSounds, which gave me some inspiration.
The song reflects on self-awareness and self-love. What do these concepts mean
to you, and how have they transformed your outlook on life and relationships?
After going through some self reflection and overcoming the pain of losing
someone I thought would be with me forever, I’ve realised that it’s okay to be on
your own and you don’t need somebody in your life to rely on all the time. Of
course a time will come where it works out, but it can’t be a main drive of self
motivation.
You’ve been writing music since you were nine. What first inspired you to pick up
the pen and start creating music at such a young age? I’ve been surrounded by
music my whole life and always loved to create things it didn’t really matter what it
was I’ve always been into making stuff. Song writing came naturally, although I
struggled to play instruments, I always liked to sing and use my voice, I found it
was my best instrument.
You’ve played to packed venues following your festival debut. What has been your
favourite memory from performing live this year? My favourite live performance
this year would of been playing at kickback brewery in aldinga because it’s the
closest to home I’ve been able to perform and I got to perform for so many people
who hadn’t heard me before.
If you could collaborate with any artist, who would it be and why? realistically I
would say either Barkaa or Nerve, because I feel very passionate about
indigenous rights and would love to contribute by spreading their messages in
music, Barkaa has been a big inspiration for me over the last two years. I would
love to collaborate with Nerve because he is an amazing producer and never
misses on a beat.
