He has recorded as a solo artist, and as a member of the bands The Boy Explodes, Hey willpower, and Tussle.
Tomo's first recorded release was "Death Rock Booty Call" (2003), with his band The Boy Explodes.
This project included singer Shane Frink and drummer Ryan Brundage, and was described by the San Francisco Bay Guardian as "gloomy", "melancholic", "disco punk", "screamo", "dark, emotional music", "reverbed-out ghosts of Bauhaus, the Cure, and Joy Division, as well as Gary Numan and even Devo", belied by a colorful, even cheerful physical appearance.
Us fine folks here at Daft Alliance may not completely agree with those comparisons but have a hard time ourselves accurately describing Tomo's unique approach to electronic music.
Putting a pair of drummers at the forefront of their songs, the San Francisco based band has breathed new life into postpsychedelic art rock."
