Tom Odell was born in Chichester which is located in the United Kingdom. He was brought up in a middle-classed family with his father being a pilot and his mother being a primary school teacher however due to his fathers job, they mostly lived in New Zealand for most of Tom’s childhood. Tom started to play the piano at the age of 9 professionally, his passion for music grew and quoted “I’d be writing lyrics in my head while the rest of the class wanted to play football." At the age of 18, he scrapped the plan to attend the University of York and tried to attend Liverpool music school. He quoted “it was humiliating: people laughing, grabbing the microphone as I sang" so he decided to move back to his home town. He joined a band for a little while but decided he wanted to be solo so he ‘didn’t have to rely on other people’. Tom Odell was signed onto a record deal where he started to create music hoping to be discovered.
