<p>London-based producer/singer/songwriter Tom Misch blends hip-hop-inspired beats with smoothly soulful vocals and guitar. Growing up in a creative household, he learned to play violin at a young age and discovered his singing talent as a child. Inspired by J Dilla, Misch started making his own beats and gained recognition when up-and-coming rappers sampled his work. Collaborating with local singer/songwriter Carmody, he released the Out to Sea EP in 2014. His debut single "Memory" arrived in 2014, followed by Beat Tape 2 in 2015. Misch's music combines laid-back R&B-pop elements showcased on his EP Reverie and debut album Geography.</p>

Beat Tape 2 follows a string of well-received releases since it's predecessor Beat Tape 1, including his Out To Sea E.P with Carmody, a white label release on hip-hop label Soulection, collaborations with the likes of Bearcubs and reworks of Mos Def and Busta Rhymes. On Beat Tape 2, Tom has evolved his sound from it's origins in Boom Bap hip-hop stylings of producers like J Dilla to encompass his diverse range of influences. Tom's music finds the sweet spot between electronica, hip-hop and acoustic, predominantly linked by a single quality: soul. "It's about the feeling you get from the music that makes it soulful, and for me that comes down to the chords. If it's a nice, soulful chord progression that's what makes it soulful and gives you that warm feeling. A lot of Gospel music, J Dilla, Erykah Badu and Jazz - I find that very soulful. That's what I listen to, so I guess that comes out in my music."
