Hello everyone! I have some room to take on some more game music projects if anyone is in the market for a composer. I specialize in folk and orchestral music.

Here is a link to my full portfolio: www.tommynorrismusic.com/portfolio

Final Fantasy Tactics is one of my favorite games of all time, and I especially love the music by Hitoshi Sakimoto ! To celebrate the remake being released today, here is a cover of the "Protagonist's Theme" on classical guitar. #FFTactics

I really enjoyed watching the #BackToTheBeginning concert celebrating Ozzy and Black Sabbath over the weekend! Here is a #tbt video from 2022 where I covered the guitar solo from Mr. Crowley on the mandolin.

Picked up this 1900s bowlback mandolin a few weeks ago. There's no label, but I think it's either an Oscar Schmidt or Lyon and Healy. It is in great playable condition for a 100+ year old instrument!

I recently found this handmade #pokemon calendar that I made back in 1999 at my parent's house. I remember spending SO much time on this. Glad I went into music and not art! 😂
