Tom-S' debut album "Life is a Journey" is one that not only follows the journey of one's life from childhood through adulthood, but also teaches a valuable lesson: "We are given this present- accept it and enjoy it, however it may be. Because all of the adventure- all of the good- comes in the journey." The album is introduced by a prelude, transitioned by an interlude, and concluded by a postlude, all of which feature three parts of the same poem. The story of this poem begins with the blind ambition and adoration of the world of a child, moves onto the yearning for discovery in adolescence, and concludes with the fast-paced bleak tunnel-vision of adulthood. This poem, when listened together, teaches a valuable lesson discovered through self-reflection. Each track is distinctly unique covering a wide variety of topics with a healthy variety of sounds, ranging from feel-good songs to love songs to deep and heart-wrenching songs. With sonic influences ranging from Electronica and Jazz to Hip Hop and Pop, the tracks follow the story of the poem spoken in the album's Prelude, Interlude, and Postlude. As the album progresses, the topics get darker and the music becomes more engaging and emotional. Leading toward the climax of the album in the Postlude, the most emotion peaks at the reveal of this albums lesson. Just as life often peaks to a climax from its beginnings, the album is a gradual build toward its apex. All music composed, produced, mixed, and mastered by Tom-S.
