"Tommy.PLUV, real name Thomas Prendergast, was Born in England before moving to Orange County, California at the young age of 12. With the move came a new perspective, he was raised at the skatepark, grindin rails and breaking bones, listening to Underground and West Coast Rap music, and rollin with the crew he is still affiliated with today "The Rock Killers". It was his respect for Hip-Hop that first got Tommy to pick up a pen and write. With the philosophy that if you listened to enough good music and have a passion for it, there's no reason you can't emulate that thing you love in your own style.
Upon returning to the UK, Tommy has been putting a lot of time into his music, whilst holding down a 9-5 to pay the bills any spare chance he gets he's jottin' down a few bars or rushing home on a lunch break to lay down an idea for a verse.
Like a lot of real cats in the game, Tommy writes about what he knows, about his own experiences and life from his cross-cultured perspective. He leaves the gun talking and gold chains to the experts and doesn't concern himself with the growing trends of wealth and power that seem to dominate modern Rap culture.
His eazy-going personality shines through constantly in the laid back vibe of most of his lyrics and the attitude towards the way he rhymes. Most of his energy is spent on exercising his penchant for wordplay and making you think about the things you maybe taking for granted in life, and tryin' to drop some knowledge of some people taking things a little too seriously.
