Tom Mackell

Tom Mackell is an American singer-songwriter originally from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, currently based in Charleston, South Carolina. Tom’s songs are built around spontaneous ideas that he stumbles across in day-to-day life. His lyrics and rhythms are born from his keen awareness of the world around him. “I enjoy writing songs and watching them come to life in the studio or on the stage. I love sharing my music. Songwriting is my escape, my passion, my craft and my inspiration to keep doing more. ” He launched his career in the summer of 2009 after graduating high school and releasing a self-produced 5-track solo-acoustic EP titled, “One Man Army”. Tom spent his freshman year of college in Washington, DC where he began playing open mic nights around the city. The following year, Tom moved to Charleston, South Carolina to attend the College of Charleston and lay the foundation for his music career.
