I put it on repeat and just listened over and over as I let whatever influences I was feeling direct me to put together light and color and patterns.” Fun fact: Tom is an MTV Video of The Year winner for his production work on the iconic "Jeremy" video by Pearl Jam. The debut EP "Time Is A Crime" by Blesson Roy is out now on Slow Start Records.
