Tom Southey

Tom Southey, who also goes by Southey, reads a venue and shapes the playlist and mood to suit it. He's a Sydney singer-songwriter who loops live and plays several instruments, so a solo set can grow layer by layer from one simple part into a much fuller sound. He also produces music and releases his own songs, which have built a real following online. That habit of tailoring each set is handy when a bar or a party starts mellow and wants more energy by the end.
