Welcoming the incredibly talented Scottish singer-songwriter Tom Walker to High Performance, sharing his journey from breakout success to navigating fame and self-care.


In this episode, Tom Walker joins Jake and Damian to share insights into his life as a successful singer and songwriter. From the highs of winning the BRIT Awards to the lows of overworking himself into a breakdown, Tom opens up about the importance of setting boundaries, especially with management and labels. He recounts on the pivotal moments that shaped his career, from being inspired by ACDC at just nine years old to creating hit songs born out of personal loss and struggles.


With two million albums sold worldwide, Tom doesn't shy away from discussing the challenges of fame, admitting his discomfort with TV appearances and selling his music. Yet, he offers practical advice on coping mechanisms and the importance of reaching out for support during tough times.


As he discusses navigating through the challenges of COVID-19 and teasing his upcoming album, we gain a glimpse into the evolution of Tom Walker, both as an artist and as a person.


This episode dives into the importance of self-care, setting boundaries, and seizing opportunities in order to navigate success and maintain mental well-being in the creative industry.
