THE FULL STORY OF MR. HIP HOP SO FAR...
HOME	Entrepreneur, hip-hop head honcho, club-night promoter and producer. There’s very little Tom O C doesn’t know about the music industry in Ireland. Tom started MCing aged 10, recording rhymes over his favourite Tupac tapes from the comfort of the garage in his parent’s house. It wasn’t long before the young Tom made a name for himself in his locality, where he met like-minded people in the guise of Da Blowhard Krew in his hometown of Dalkey. At this time Tom and his crew performed a number of legendary shows thus gaining legendary status through the local pirate radio stations. The coming years saw tastes shifting and members of Da Blowhard Krew moving on, either by choice or circumstance. Tom, facing a crossroads in his life, took a job at telecommunications giants Eircom as he pondered his next move. It was here that Tom honed both his entrepreneurial and technical skills. His workplace acted as a surprise purveyor of both technical and entrepreneurial know-how and acumen. Despite this Tom found his creativity stifled and was now ready to unleash his newly-learned skills on the world of the Irish clubbing and music scene. Initial endeavours involved the starting of a clubbing website. The website’s meteoric rise in popularity prompted Tom to return to his first, and truth be told, only love; hip-hop. The birth and rise of Hiphop.ie ensued, so much so that Tom became known on the circuit as Mr Hiphop. Capitalising on this success Tom again donned his promoting cap and started his legendary Friday night in the Turk’s Head in the epicentre of Dublin’s buzzing metropolis; Temple Bar. 2009 sees Tom in the studio working on his keenly awaited debut album. October sees the release of the single ‘Entrepreneur’ with the album following shortly after. For bookings, information on Tom or general inqwiries contact tom@tom2d-oc.com .
