Home / Tom Cridland

Tom Cridland is a singer, songwriter, record producer, piano player and fashion designer. He learnt the piano during the Covid-19 lockdowns as a means of overcoming alcoholism, inspired by Elton John, and has performed all over the world as his alter ego, "Sir El Tom". He has played hundreds of concerts at iconic venues including Carnegie Hall and the Adelphi Theatre.

Tom has gone on to produce, write songs and record with the likes of The Stylistics, Shania Twain, Ronnie Wood of The Rolling Stones, Gene Simmons of KISS, Justin Hawkins of The Darkness, Billy Gibbons of ZZ Top, Bill Champlin, Davey Johnstone, Jay Graydon, The Real Thing, Nathan East, Kenji Suzuki of Simply Red, Tower of Power, Steve Lukather of Toto and many other industry legends.

Tom's introduction to the music business came through his fashion brand, Tom Cridland Clothing, established in 2014, and its customer, Nigel Olsson. Tom has designed Nigel's clothing for Elton John tours since 2014, including his purple suit for the historic, recording breaking performance at Glastonbury.

Tom is a keen entrepreneur and has consulted for over 350 clients including Rubik’s, Castore, Sweaty Betty, Luno, Drumeo, Redshaw Advisors Ltd, Henry Poole & Co, Richard Anderson, Craghoppers, Build-A-Bear, Hometree, Keela, Corrymoor Socks, Tea & Tequila, Hometree, Araldica Castelvero, Lee Oskar Harmonicas, Santamaria Shirtmakers, Draper of Glastonbury, Iles Formula, Ynsect, Bodileys, Nigel Olsson and The Stylistics.

Tom works with his Anglo-Italian wife, Deborah, whom he married in Ravello on the 14th October, 2023.

Tom grew up (Beatles obsessed) in London and Lisbon with his father, Jonathan, his mother, Manuela, and his brother, James.
