Tom X Wolfe – ‘SUPADUPAFLY’
About Tom X Wolfe
TOM X WOLFE, is a Gabon-Canadian multi-genre music producer and record label owner based in Brooklyn, NY.
With a handful of hits on radio and heavily spun on international broadcasting channels, his sound became notorious in Gabon and across certain parts of francophone Africa through the song “Matrice”, co-produced with Mr. Eazi, for BGMFK’s debut album “2417” released (as a lead single) and distributed by Universal Music Africa in 2018, which became an instant sensation in the clubs.
In collaboration with Brooklyn “The Floss” based rapper J4y King, he carefully curated a selection of tailor-made production for his debut album “Breathing Room”, a collage of sounds and influences, designed to embark the listener on a memorable journey. Its afrobeat-rooted lead single “Sweet Sweet” featuring Brooklyn singer Court St. is gaining momentum and amassing playlist placement and radio spins.
Much like peers such as KAYTRANADA, or legends such as J-Dilla, he is taking the producer-driven approach to creating, promoting and releasing his own records under his independent label “Woodlum Records” to take control of the narrative and tell his story through carefully selected songs filled with meaning and substance.
