Caged Baby''s big break came after a spur-of-the-moment trip to the Miami Winter Music Conference in 2002. DJ Magazine was looking for an unsigned artist to follow around and stumbled across Tom in his most natural habitat - a party. Stunned by the quality of his demo, they covered him in a two-page feature. Simultaneously he was throwing out promos to the producers he respected and couldn''t look past Southern Fried when deciding which labels to approach. "I liked their reputation" he chuckles. "They''re such a bunch of reprobates. I managed to talk my way into their exclusive party at the Nash Hotel and got my demo to everybody who counted.?" Needless the label snapped him up on the spot and released his first track ''Star'' as a double AA with ''Berlin'' on the reverse.
Since then he''s gone on to remix artists as diverse as Ocean Colour Scene, Har Mar Superstar and Armand Van Helden, and is currently holed-up in the studio, working on his debut artist album alongside Ashley Beedle, Justin Robertson and none other than label boss Norman Cook.
Tom''s album "Will See You Now" will be released early 2005
