Tom’s debut album was nominated for The Mercury Prize, a Brit Award, and Q Magazine Award. His latest album, a collaboration with Lowri Evans, was nominated for the Welsh Music Prize. In 2024 Tom will release an album of duets with some of his favourite French artists.
As well as his own music, Tom has written for other artists over the years, most notably Marianne Faithfull on her 2014 album “Give My Love To London”. His music has been used extensively in film and television, and McRae regularly composes for orchestras in Europe. Tom divides his time between Paris and Wiltshire.
Tom’s music has featured regularly in film and tv, from shows like Buffy The Vampire Slayer, to last year’s Amazon and BBC collaboration The English. As well as commercials for Pontiac cars in the states, and Kenzo perfume world wide.
Over the years Tom has garnered a reputation as a great live act, whether solo, trio, full band, or with string quartet. Tom’s relationship with his audience is very special, as anyone who has witnessed the shows can attribute. Despite McRae’s melancholy reputation, the shows are often funny, heartfelt, and rousing.
