Tea with Tommy! Founder TommY BoY

What are you going to talk about with this music legend... over tea? Maybe you, or a friend, is  trying to become a successful artist and would want advice and direction? Or maybe you want Tommy to critique your music...? So much to think about over tea!

He is the founder of Tommy Boy Records, the legendary Hip Hop & Electronic label founded in NYC in 1981. The label credited with launching the careers of notable Hip Hop legends Afrika Bambaataa, Queen Latifah, House of Pain, De La Soul, and Naughty By Nature. Currently the label has been home to Ghostface Killah, Sheek Louch, Method Man, Black Sheep Dres, Christian Tiger School, Jamar Rogers, OCAD, Marcos Carnaval, Pants Velour, ELEX, Saint Ballantine, G-MiM$, Annalie Prime, Soul Khan, DJ E-Clyps & Oxymorrons.

He is one of the four original founders that grew the world's most influential music conference and festival during the 80's and early 90's - The New Music Seminar.

Or maybe you'll discuss his work as a board member of RIAA, the Recording Industry Association of America...?

Or perhaps you can ask about how Tommy Boy became the first label to market its own merch line to mainstream consumers via its Tommy Boy Gear line, partnering with brands like Stussy and Carhartt.

Whatever you decide to riff on, it should be the best tasting tea you've ever had. Maybe Tommy will throw in some complimentary music too!
