Bringing a lifetime of experience to the studio every time they sit down and hit record, American producer TOMMY Dj has tenaciously pursued their own creative path, seizing every opportunity they continue to make for themselves. Bringing their own unique style to every single they create, their work blends a familiar level of enthusiasm with a sense of genuine authenticity that sets their work within its own league. Their latest album, Fast Money, has turned heads within their community and beyond, anchored in its titular track that injects a sense of optimistic enthusiasm into the collection.
The piece begins with an electrifying dance-pop inspired introduction, and we feel the world of the music being built around us in real time from the opening notes. Quickly, a woman’s vocals appear and start the narrative with the opening line “Twenty three thousand on the kitchen table. Rubber bands tight, my hands ain’t stable. Six weeks in, got that paper stacked high, but looking at it now, I don’t know why.” From the opening notes, this music tells an empowering story while challenging the now all too popular fallacy that success can come overnight.
A reflection on the grit and determination of the artist at a core level, the lyrics reveal a deep philosophical belief that the fruition of accomplishment feels more satisfactory than stumbling into success by virtue of luck as opposed to hard work and making a name for yourself the right way. Having accomplished so much with this latest release, fans can only wait with anticipation to see what could possibly be coming next from this artist’s mind and studio.
