A Charleston, South Carolina-based singer/songwriter whose honest and soulful mix of Americana, pop and rock creates a melodic, smooth sound that’s effortlessly organic. Originally from the suburbs of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Mackell honed his skills performing at bars and restaurants. He performed back and forth between Philadelphia and Charleston before moving to Nashville in 2015. Diving headfirst into music city, he landed a job at a talent agency while also writing and recording in his free time. He then went on to release five singles from 2016-2018 followed by a five-track EP in 2019 and another single “Strange Times” in 2020.

With years of touring under his belt, Mackell has performed with artists such as Ryan Montbleau, Sister Hazel, Tony Lucca, Charlie Mars, SUSTO, and more. From living and touring up and down the east coast, Tom has attracted a wide range of listeners. He’s most grateful for the opportunity to share his music with his fans:

“My favorite part of being an artist is connecting with the listener. I love everything about performing, from the long drives to the late night hangs and meeting new faces along the way. There is something about the hustle in being an independent artist that gives me a rush. Times can get tough, but my focus is always on improving and finding new ways to create compelling new music.”
