Hi, my name's Thomas, I am a cocktail bartender by trade. However that is just to pay the rent. When I'm not mixing cocktails, I am a BBC award winning spoken word poet, a novelist, children's author, rapper and singer/songwriter. I also direct short films and the odd music video.I was born in London and raised in the Caribbean.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

When I lived in the Caribbean, I would regularly spend time with George Harrison of the Beatles in the studio where ebony and ivory was recorded.

Teach, Learn, Share

I have much to give. Sparkling conversation, good sense of humour, I make a mean cocktail, I regularly perform while chilling out. Also I am quite the vegetarian chef.
