Dawning out of Norfolk, Virginia, Tommy Church moved to California to pursue his passion in music and make a career dealing beats. Describing melodic powerhouses Tale of Us and Lane 8 as “his happy place”, Church’s sets draw inspiration from the Afterlife and This Never Happened imprints with the goal of executing soulful symphonies to ultimately create an unforgettable set. Church’s ability to skillfully mix techno and house always dominates the dancefloor, but his eye to pivot on a whim to keep up the crowd’s momentum is what really makes him shine in the spotlight.
In 2019, Tommy Church’s music career took off as he refined his sound design throughout the pandemic.

Also being a continuous supporter and veteran of the Groove Cruise family for 8 years, the aspiring artist already understands the importance of community when it comes to curating the vibe and setting the tone for his sets, which landed him a spot on Groove Cruise’s roster in 2022.
