Tommy WÁ is a free-spirited artist based in Ghana with music and visual storytelling as his core mediums. Oluwatomiwa Oyakhilome Suleiman was born to a multicultural family in the city of Ibadan, Nigeria, and later spent most of his teens living in the federal capital (Abuja). To attain a Bachelor's degree in Political Studies and Sociology, he moved to Ghana in 2013, a country graceful enough for the grooming of an artistic interest that has been perceived by a good many to be authentic in expression. All of which accumulated to a perception of his realities, through which he has been able to manifestly compose music and capture the familiar, conveying messages about life, peace, youth, happiness, spiritual consciousness, love, and critical thinking, with a graceful hope that his audience receives them with new eyes, ears, hearts, and minds.
He considers himself an artist with multi - soulful genres at the brim of his DNA, offering an introspective organic blend of groovy Afro Folk acoustics and poetic monologues. Written in English [fluent, broken (pidgin) and Yoruba(lized)], his works are built on rich folkloric native wisdom through which he examines his hypocrisies, understands his identity, and how he brings to light a subconscious knowledge that has a potential of being mutual, offering closure to his listener.

With significant epiphanies leading up to January 2019, he decided to return to the scene. After changing his stage name from "Tommy Maverick" to "Tommy WÁ”, something that aligns more with the realities of the motherland, he releases Come and go, independently with no label affiliation.Amongst upcoming singles and collaborations, Tommy WÁ is at the recording phase of his next effort, scheduled for release next year's raining season - an Africanfuturism guide to breaking down the challenges of seeing the familiar with new eyes.

Gravity

If i fall
I want to rise again like the morning sun
Yes! free the rays
Let them pour upon my lover's face
Let her know that space isn't such a dangerous place
As i race, let my knees hit my chest
Treat me like a baby that's just been weaned from his mama's two saggy breast
On some days, i'd climb up the hill
But like a bird, i'd build my nest
Then i free fall
I free fall knowing there's no safety netGravity pulls us down
Oh! Gravity pulls us down
Yes! Gravity pulls us down
But it won't pull me to the groundI am King of A
She's queen of sea
She struck me down when i kissed her ring
She said "Tommy Boy, there's more to life than what you see,
We could use the rain and path the red sea
So baby come dey follow me go
To that place where we don't see the moon
We won't feel the weight of the air
The sun and stars won't to be there"On this night, i killed my fear in a roller coaster
Then rose back to earth because this dream was over
Next time when i am falling, I'd be bolder
I'd be lighter
