Tom Wilding

Tom’s speciality has always been developing artists and helping them unlock a sound that’s unmistakably theirs. Working quietly behind the scenes, his contributions have been pivotal to early breakthroughs and repeat successes—credits that now sit behind tens of millions of streams.

Starting out as a trumpeter, Tom quickly realised his future wasn’t just on stage but in the studio—shaping records, building worlds and bringing performances into focus. As a writer, producer and multi-instrumentalist, he blends folk, pop, orchestral colours and electronica with ease, drawing on years of live experience as a trumpeter and synth tinkerer. That hybrid skillset led to formative work around Gabrielle Aplin’s English Rain, trumpet/engineering cameos in left-field electronica and a long-running relationship with Bristol’s Smerins Anti-Social Club, where he performs and produced the album Jelly Deals.

As his reputation grew, so did the calibre and breadth of projects. Tom’s studio and writing room became a stop-off for major-label pop and independent innovators alike, providing recording and production for Melanie C (Spice Girls), songwriting and production for Shane Filan (Westlife), and sessions with Grammy-nominated Yola. Whether he’s arranging brass, rebuilding a rhythm section from the ground up or coaxing a vocal into a career-defining performance, Tom’s goal is consistent: clarity, emotion and records that last.

Today, Tom splits his time among supporting, producing, mixing and arranging for artists at every stage—often from his own Bristol base. He continues to perform, both on trumpet and within the celebrated Bristol scene, and releases his live-electronic work as Wildb0y, a hardware-driven project where synths, drum machines and live brass collide. To date, his credits have collectively racked up tens of millions of streams.
