Tom’s teenage years brought him to Alaska, where he lived as an exchange student. It was here that his vocal talents were first discovered – when his host family’s daughter heard him singing in the shower. Urged on by his host family’s belief in his abilities, Tom made his debut as a soloist in the school choir. But when Tom returned to Sweden, he put his music on the shelf and started studying economics.

A few years later, Uppsala University gave him a stipend to study in Sydney, Australia. Then what did he do? Like all aspiring economists, he bought a guitar. And, as he was unable to play a single song, he began to write his own. When Tom returned to Sweden, he formed the band Tennis with a couple of friends. Tennis signed on with Stockholm Records and their single “Shyway” reached the summer hit list of 1996.

But even after this promising start, Tom put his music career back on ice. It wasn’t until 2001 that he finally decided to do a solo album. Tom released the album “Saving Grandma” in 2002, on his own label. It was well received by both the public and the critics and became, among other things, album of the week on Swedish College Radio.

Skip ahead to 2006. Tom Levin launched his second solo album, “Me, my band that I älskar, Kasper and a bunch of friends” that features over 40 musicians. Together with these musicians and co-producer Kasper Lindgren, Tom created a heart-warming, foot-stomping album. The music is rife with influences from rock and bluegrass to big band jazz, pop, country and gospel. His rich, deep voice is what bridges the differences, tying everything together to form a fresh and interesting new sound.

The two singles “I miss her missing me” and “You don’t need your god” were frequently played on Sweden’s biggest public radio station P4. They were also played on P5, P3, P2 and on Swedish College Radio. The album reached 37th place on Sweden’s album chart and the reception from critics and the audience has been overwhelming (see reviews).

In May 2006 STIM (the Swedish version of ASCAP) chose six songs (out of all the songs that were release in Sweden in the last year) to represent Sweden in a mailing to 160 radio producers all over the world: Tom’s song “I miss her missing me” was one of those six.

The video to “You don’t need your God” won WIM TOP 10’s month of May video-chart 2006.

On the 18th of November 2006 Tom Levin won the award for “AC Male Artist of the Year” (New Music Weekly Awards 2006) in the USA. His song "Just” reached #1 on US radio on the 12 th of December 2006 an it stayed as # 1 for four weeks.

During the spring of 2007 Tom's song “Please disturb me” reached # 4 on the same list. “Please disturb me” also reached # 3 on Independent Music Networks Main Chart during the spring of 2007.

June 11, 2008 Tom released his third album "Unfair in my favor".
