Sandi
Thom is a Scottish singer and songwriter.
She got famous over night when she installed a webcam in her London
(Tooting district) basement apartment in February and March 2006.
There she performed a three week "world tour" on the internet to
publish her songs.
Originally she wanted to perform on a stage but was a little short of money. She named her project 21 Nights From Tooting. The first single I Wish I Was A Punk-Rocker achieved number 1 of the UK Top 40.
When Sandi Thom was between 14 and 17 she was singing and playing keyboards in a cover band named The Residents. She once stated that she owes much of her musical knowledge the time with the Residents. Her favourite bands were bands like The Eagles or The Beatles, and artists like Van Morrison, Bob Dylan and Janis Joplin. Sandi toured across Scottland and played in pubs and clubs.
With 17 years she attended the Liverpool Institute of Performing Arts (LIPA). During that time period she sang in a gospel choir and founded her own 7 person band. Two of the founding members still are playing in her band today. In 2003 she graduated with honors in performing arts at LIPA what was presented to her by Sir Paul McCartney (the founder of LIPA). Sandi then moved to London to follow up her songwriting carreer.
