Thomas Headon: “If You Vote For Me, I Will Be A Step Closer To Meeting Harry Styles”
21-year-old Thomas Headon is the latest of our MTV PUSH UK & IRE 2022 artists in the spotlight this week and in our exclusive interview he tried to nail-down his sound:“If someone hadn’t heard my music before, I would probably describe it was left of pop, also left of, like, indie rock, but also left of alternative. I dunno. It’s quite left, but still pop.”
When we asked how Thomas got into music, he revealed: “I first got into music when I wasfourteen, started writing songs and playing guitar at that age, I think first to get girlsbut then I started putting covers on YouTube and then through coversI gained a small following, then moved to London and then started doing stuff onTikTok, and then started going really well. And then I finally released my first track in, like, 2019 andnow here we are. I’m just winging it, but it’s going well.”
