Tune-Smith isn't a band. It's the result of the dedicated efforts of one individual striving not to create new versions of the same-old-stuff. That individual is me.....Tom Hoffman. Welcome to tune-smith! In addition to being a musician & songwriter, I guess I consider myself a student of human nature. People are an endless source of ideas for new tunes. Let's face it, most songs end up being about people and common life experiences. Those are great themes & I often use them in my writing. That being said, I think there are plenty of new and interesting ways to approach those subjects. New songs shouldn't sound like rehashed versions of done-to-death themes. Writing shouldn't be about trying to sound just like everyone else. What I strive for, is a good blend of original and somewhat familiar. In other words, I want my songs to sound fresh & different, but not so unique that you the listener...can't relate to them. Several of my songs have recieved recognition in international writing contests. Up till now, I've been a finalist, a semi finalist, a runner-up, a suggested artist and gotten numerous honorable mentions. I've yet to win, but hopefully that's a work in progress.
