For myself experimentation is a huge part of my creative process and I'm always trying to think of ways I can diversify my performances to keep me on my toes. I also hate performing by myself, it makes my willy shrivel. So I thought I might start a band, but not a band in the traditional sense but something that was a little bit more in line with my noisemaking nature and have all the players playing my human sounds that I sample live in to the instruments. (what a conceited wanker.) Anyways this was the first public performance of the idea and a little sight of the tip of the iceberg in terms of the possibilities of what can be achieved using this concept and I really look forward to pushing it further.There are not enough superlatives to describe the wonder of this beatboxing virtuoso - I am still trying to figure out how he got those sounds out of his mouth. ... keep reading The Daily Telegraph (UK)

Tom was an incredible speaker! Articulate, thorough, passionate, inspiring, humble, hilarious, a perfect candidate for the Conscious Club stage.
Tom was a huge hit at our event! Please pass along my thanks for his participation, incredible energy and talent, and the awesome show he gave our associates.
Tom Thum was ABSOLUTELY OUTSTANDING! I cannot even put into words how incredible he is. He sure did stop 600 people in their after dinner chatter at our event, and had them absolutely spellbound during his performance. What a talent! As an event manager you sometimes hold your breath when you take a chance on an act - about three seconds into his performance I could safely exhale watching the wonder on peoples faces.
