Tom Misch - 5 Day Mischon

Tom Misch - The Making of 5 Day Mischon

Tom Misch is a trained jazz guitarist/producer from London, England. For his latest EP, Tom set out with a simple objective that was no simple feat: to write five songs in five days. 5 Day Mischon is the end result. Five soulful and spacious collaborations with five phenomenally talented musicians: singers Carmody and Will Heard; grime MC, Novelist; saxophonist, Kaidi Akinnibi; and violinist/composer, Tobie Tripp.

Watch the creative process, then listen to the finished EP.
