Bio:

In 1982, the spark to Tommy Heart’s remarkable singing career was ignited while playing in a West-Berlin school band. It was his very first attempt trying to escape the ghetto in Gropiusstadt (part of Berlin) and establish an existence away from difficult everyday life.Tommy’s youth was affected by the typical troubles of life such as delinquency, drug abuse, violence and the laws of the street.A first real chance was given to him in 1988 when he signed his first contract with the renowned Heavy Metal label Noise Records – his band at that time: V2. When V2 blasted off with their first self-titled album, they soon found themselves supporting German hotshots and label mates Helloween who were at the commercial peak of their carreer having just released their hugely successful effort “Keeper Of The Seven Keys II”. Still on tour in Europe, Tommy was invited by legendary guitarist Zeno Roth and his band Zeno to put his vocal prowess to the test.American label Geffen Records – home to many unforgotten rock heroes such as Elton John, Cher, Michael Bolton, Aerosmith, Nirvana or Guns N’ Roses – offered a future-proof collaboration.This liason led to a great deal of showcases and brought the band in touch with American manager Tom Zutaut being personally responsible for the success of bands like Mötley Crüe, Guns N’ Roses and Tesla. Then in 1989, Zeno Roth suprisingly decided to back down from music business.In the same year Tommy and the rest of Zeno’s band, Ule W. Ritgen and CC Behrens, laid the foundation for the exceptional Fair Warning. After recording a couple of demos the band received many offers from major labels and eventually opted for WEA. In 1992 the self-titled debut made quite an impact on the Japanese market which resulted in outstanding sales figures. The band even was invited to tour the land of the rising sun; something rather unusual for a newcomer band and, after all was awarded the „Brightest Hope Award 1992“ by the readers of Japanese metal bible Burrn!In 1993 Scorpions guitarist Uli Jon Roth – one of the world’s most influential sixstringers – worked on a performance of the „Symphonic Rock For Europe“ concert. Roth accompanied the Symphonic Orchestra Brussels on guitar interpreting various classical pieces. For the concert that was eventually aired by WDR-Rockpalast, Tommy took over the role of the lead vocalist from Cream icon and frontman Jack Bruce at short notice. This collaboration later continued in form of the 1995 epic “Sky Of Avalon” and was welcomed by media and fans alike. Moreover, Tommy participated in a singing contest organized by Gillette. He was finally chosen from 300 contestants to sing their theme song „Gillette – für das Beste im Mann“. Thanks to Tommy’s distintive and unmistakable voice, sales figures skyrocketed. Nonetheless, Tommy stayed true to himself as he knew that an even bigger success was to follow: the second Fair Warning album “Rainmaker” sold 65.000 units solely on the day of release and went straight up the charts.Two weeks later the boys from Hanover received a gold award – another successful tour followed shortly after. The 1997 follow-up “Go!” again went gold and won the poll for “Album Of The Year”. In Europe the band played live with big names such as Status Quo, C.C.R. or Saga and continued to expand their fanbase. In 1998 the amazingly executed live album “Live & More” was issued and the band once again toured Asia – an exceptional event in which Tommy again proved that he belonged to the ranks of the top singers and performers – just listen to the middle part of Fair Warning’s live classic “Don’t Give Up” which is sung without any musical accompaniment.

Album:

Fair Warning vocalist TOMMY HEART is pleased to announce his solo album will see the release on Dec 21/2016.The new album is set to release only in Japan (at this stage) and is titled “Spirit Of Time”.Tommy Heart is no other than the VOICE of legendary melodic hard rockers Fair Warning. With Fair Warning released many great records and put his mark in this scene with his amazing vocal range. He was also, the singer of ZENO and released some strong records with Soul Doctor.Nowadays, this charismatic shouter is about to release his debut solo album with the title "Spirit Of Time". In this record, Tommy Heart is doin' the thing that knows better than ever; he delivers quality and top class melodic rock/hard rock gems in the vain of his main band spirit. And even if the most of the songs here are a bit more laid-back than Fair Warning's tunes, the final result is overall delightful.For this debut, Heart gathers his pals from Fair Warning (Andy Malecek, Helge Engelke and Torsten Luederwaldt) but, also, Tommy Denander (Radioactive), Oliver Hartmann (Avantasia, At Vance) and Leif Sundin (Treat) and creates an album that every die-hard of Fair Warning was looking for!!! The fact that I'm a big fan of this artist pushed me to purchase the Japan edition of "Spirit Of Time" that includes a bonus track!!!!"Back For More" and we have the first winner! A pop-ish rocker with a beautiful melody, a catchy chorus line and Heart's amazing vocal lines in front row!!! Excellent stuff!!! "Best Times" is yet another cool song out of "Spirit Of Time". Commercial melodic rock with a sweet melodic line that you can feel it in your bones this tune is simply lovely. "You And Me" reminded me a bit of Jon Bon Jovi's solo records (after the Blaze Of Glory) and "Lean In My Shoulder" Heart delivers an excellent and more Fair Warning-esque rocker!!! I adore "Touch Of Heaven"!!!! Yes, this song is pure and commercial as it gets melodic rock heaven!!!!! A feel-good, super catchy and up-tempo rocker that kept me push the repeat button again and again! The cover of The Beatles classic tune of "Help" is breathtaking; an acoustic mid-tempo track that leaves you breathless!!!Closing my review, the last thing that I have to add is that "Spirit Of Time" is a true melodic rock monster that will please every single Fair Warning freak (just like me) but, also, it will gain more and more melodic rock fans out there!!!!
