Tommy Newport

Tommy Newport, born Oliver Milmine in Manchester, England, is well known for his irresistible falsetto-steeped indie songs.

Newport moved to the United States at a young age, eventually settling in Kansas where he picked up a guitar and learned how to use a computer to make music. Now based in Los Angeles, he has developed his unique funky, psychedelic pop sound and style into something quite extraordinary.

Newport’s 2018 debut, Just To Be Ironic, garnered a lot of attention while he was still a teenager. His EPs Tommy Gun, Ultra Mango, and Liquid continued his incredible success. The artist has released his second album, Glasshead, which features 10 tracks and is a demonstration of his development since his debut.

When asked about the new album, Newport said that he feels like his head is made of glass when he makes music and that when he shares his music, his thoughts are visible to everyone. Despite using a variety of musical styles, Glasshead stays true to his sound.

Glasshead features the new focus track “Fate” in addition to the fan favorite “Jackpot,” which features Toronto rap legend and Juno Award winner Jazz Cartier. Fate explores the idea that you can lose control over someone or something, and what once was in your hands can slip away. The journey of said things being left up to fate or whatever may transpire, in a very common and human way. In the life casino, fate takes control of so many things. The song was co-written by Newport, 4th Pyramid, and Afterhrs (Ian Franzino & Andrew Haas), and it features Newport’s signature falsetto vocals throughout. After realizing that the kit hadn’t been properly mic’d, two iPhones were used to record the drums on the track.

Search Party, Ballers, Expecting Amy, I Love This For You, Never Have I Ever, Walker, Grand Crew, an Apple iPad commercial, and What/If all feature musical arrangements by Newport. He has a huge catalog, toured the world with bands like Lime Cordiale and worked with Grammy nominees EARTHGANG, and is only 21 years old. Tommy Newport continues to shine with his distinctive soundscape and musical abilities, garnering critical acclaim from The FADER, Complex, Zane Lowe, Hypebeast, High Snobiety, Pigeons & Planes, PAPER, Lyrical Lemonade, and COLORS, to name a few, and achieving streaming numbers in the millions.
