Black Female Artists vs. The Music Industry | The Safe Room w/ Special Guest: TOME

Send us Fan MailThis is easily my biggest guest so far on The Safe Room Podcast! This week I'm so thrilled to be joined by the wonderful, talented, Juno award-winning, Montreal-born artist known as TOME. If there's anything you should know about TOME, she's a determined Black female independent artist who demonstrates confidence in her sound and production and understands the business side of being a musician. Her music is symbolized through Afrofusion, a perfect mix of Afro and R&B that compliments each other and exudes messages of manifestation, social justice, and self-love through her songs and discography. She has shared the stage with top-tier Nigerian artists such as WizKid, and Burna Boy, collaborated with King Promise, Runtown, Zlatan, Wavy the Creator, and Sean Kingston, not to mention going on tour with Mr. Eazi. Her Juno Award comes from winning Reggae Recording of the Year for her song "I Pray," She has dropped her sophomore album Lov this year and is just getting started.Today, we go more into depth behind the phenomenal woman that's TOME, learning about her motivations as an artist and providing excellent feedback on the environment of the music industry. Believe me, when I say this, TOME is a force to be reckoned with, and I wish her nothing but the best moving forward. She's a perfect example of someone who committed to the work, despite trials and tribulations and reaped the benefits. I had a fantastic time with her, and I'm hoping this won't be the last time she'll be back on the podcast.Follow TOME on all social media platforms:Instagram, TikTok, & Twitter: @tomeofficial_ Listen to the official soundtrack to The Safe Room Podcast "First Lady" by yours truly.
