Famous lyrics by »
All of our experiences influence who we become. Memories from our past line up like arrows pointing to our future. In hindsight, the pieces fit together seamlessly, as if everything before led us to the moment we’re living in the present. For Tommy Iceland, that moment is now. It seems his whole life has prepared him for the journey he’s about to embark on. With cuts already recorded by Chris Tomlin (“Impact”), Jesus Culture (“For No Other Reason”), We Are Messengers (“Simple”) and Stars Go Dim (“Revival”), among others, the singer, songwriter and worship leader recently moved his family to Nashville. However, the road that led to high-profile songwriting credits and a publishing and recording contract with Full Circle Music began on an entirely different continent. Born in Iceland, but raised in Sweden, Tommy came from a musical family. However, it wasn’t until his local church needed a drummer that he really experienced the power of faith-driven music. As he started playing drums for his local youth group, he was introduced to Hillsong Worship, an early influence. “I just fell in love with worship music, and it really helped me in my own personal faith,” Tommy shares. “I think worship music saved me. It was like therapy.” Hailing from a country known for manufacturing some of the biggest pop songwriters and producers of our generation, it would be easy for a talented Swede like Tommy to naturally want to follow in the footsteps of Max Martin, the maestro behind massive hits by Taylor Swift and Ariana Grande. Yet, if he’s certain of anything, it’s that he’s called to give fellow believers a song to sing. “The greatest honor I can have as a songwriter is just to hear people singing songs that I’ve been a part of writing,” he offers, “and putting words into people’s mouths that help them connect with God.”
