Tom began playing the harp at age 6. During his early years he played in various bands and orchestras in the Suffolk area, as well as performing solo and chamber recitals. He later graduated Trinity College of Music, London in 1998 with degree in Harp & Composition. Inspired by artists such as Aphex Twin, 808 State, The Orb and Steve Reich, he started mixing loops and samples with his harp.

Following his studies, he was part of London based band Tearso, before setting out on his own. Recording under the name Lunamoth, he released 2 albums, 2 EPs and 2 singles.

Lunamoth’s cover of “Army Of Me” was selected by Bjork herself to be included on the compilation “Army Of Me – Remixes and Covers”, released through One Little Indian records in aid of UNICEF.

Since 2008, Tom has been recording and performing as part of Florence and the Machine. Tom’s playing was featured prominently on singles including “Dog Days Are Over”, “You Got The Love”, “Rabbit Heart”, the UK number 1 “Spectrum (Say My Name)”, and “Wish That You Were Here” (from the soundtrack of the Tim Burton movie “Miss Peregrine’s Home For Peculiar Children”)

As well as his work with Florence, he has contributed to recordings by a variety of other artists over a wide range of genres. Recent sessions include Lou Rhodes (Lamb), New Model Army and Lady Gaga.

Tom is currently working on a new solo album and is also in demand for session work and performances.
