Tom Fox is an independent singer-songwriter from England, whose songs have racked up over one million downloads. His style has been described as a fusion of soul, pop, blues, disco, funk and acid jazz, and his music has been released on the Wavemusic (jazz) label in Europe.

Tom Fox's debut album Midnight Rain was produced by a Switzerland based producer, Signorino TJ who has produced artists in Europe for Sony BMG. Tracks from the album were broadcast on stations in Europe, and the United States. In 2004 "Midnight Rain" was nominated for two independent music awards in the United States.

His second release was Slowly EP. Slowly was produced by Tom Fox and Gary Fuston at G House studios in El Reno. It features collaborations with Gary Fuston and Martin Williams and guest appearance by mid-west guitar veteran Maurice Johnson. Rather than distributing the EP to record stores, it was put up on his website and on iTunes for download. Together, his releases have been downloaded over one million times.

His multi octave rendition of "Wayfaring Stranger", which didn't appear on any album but was performed live and made available for download on his website, was once mistaken for a Michael Jackson song. It was rumoured that it was a new song by Jackson titled "Neverland Landing". However, it was later discovered who the true artist was. Many critics have compared Tom Fox's voice with Michael Jackson's voice. His vocal style has also drawn favourable comparisons with fellow UK artists George Michael and Jamiroquai.
