He calls himself “just a drummer”—but Tom Morley is far from just anything.

As the original drummer for 80s band Scritti Politti, Tom went on to play with legends like David Bowie and Madness. Today, he blends old-school rock ’n’ roll eccentricity with new-school technology, including generative AI, to unleash creativity in the most unexpected places—like corporate boardrooms.

Through drumming, chanting, and his trademark humour, Tom has a rare gift: he gets even the most straight-laced delegates clapping, singing, and drumming in harmony. As one client said: “We didn’t believe we could do it, but we could see that you believed we could do it. So we went for it—and it worked!”

In this free-spirited conversation, we explore:
🥁 How group energy transforms when people are given permission to play.
🥁 Why stepping out of our comfort zones leads to breakthroughs.
🥁 The art of creating in the moment—and why that’s at the heart of being human.
🥁 Tom’s reflections on music, technology, and unifying people through rhythm.

Tom is living proof that when we risk a little vulnerability, magic happens. As one HR leader put it: “How do you get 150 delegates from 50 territories to sing in harmony in half an hour? Ask Tom Morley.”
