Artist History A journey long and varied, from Rock & Roll to Funk & Soul. From Punk/New Wave to R & B. Just about any 20th Century era & genre has played a part, from around the Globe and beyond. The acquistion of and connection with a Beautiful Native American Flute, a few years ago, has lead to the latest incarnation. Who knows where the muse will take me next?

Press Reviews What attracts me so much to this music is the fact that the artist is able to capture the power and meaninfulness of spirit, and yet, have fun with it. The Native American influences in Mondo Tom's music are strong and appear to be the foundation. Yet, the music grooves, soothes, or soars as it needs to. In other words, it's truly free.
