Trajetória from The Cold Tommy in the rock scene

The group The Cold Tommy began its activities in 2009 under a peculiar artistic configuration. Fumiya Ken’i was already working as a solo artist using the project name when he met Sakakibara and Matsubara. The union of the three musicians consolidated the band’s sound, which gained space on the Japanese independent circuit.

The debut on a major label took place in July 2015, marking a phase of commercial expansion. Desde then, the trio established themselves as a constant presence at festivals and medium-sized concert halls. The mix of energetic guitars and Ken’i’s signature voice has defined the band’s identity for over a decade.
