Streaming: Tom A. Smith – “What”: Sunderland’s Rising Star Shines Brighter

Tom A. Smith is a singer, songwriter, and producer from Sunderland, rapidly emerging as one of the UK’s most exciting young talents. Backed by glowing praise from Sir Elton John, who declared, “I think he is going to be a big star,” Smith’s rise has been nothing short of remarkable. His music blends heartfelt lyricism with infectious indie-pop energy, capturing the intensity of youth, ambition, and self-discovery.

Beyond his solo work, Tom has collaborated with notable artists including Miles Kane, Hugo White (The Maccabees), and Larry Hibbitt (Hundred Reasons), each helping to expand his sonic range while retaining his authentic voice. Known for his electric live performances, Smith continues to build a loyal following through shows that balance raw passion with polished musicianship — proving that he’s not just one to watch, but one to remember.

“What” showcases Tom A. Smith’s knack for crafting soaring choruses and emotionally charged melodies. With driving guitars and introspective lyrics, the track wrestles with uncertainty, communication, and the chaos of modern relationships. It’s the sound of reflection turned into release — equal parts vulnerability and confidence — reaffirming that Smith’s ascent in the UK indie scene is only just beginning.
