Tom Cridland is a musician and entrepreneur. 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'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 works with his Anglo-Italian wife, Deborah, whom he married in Ravello on the 14th October, 2023.
Tom grew up in Northamptonshire, London and Lisbon with his father, Jonathan, his mother, Manuela, and his brother, James. Tom and Deborah have a daughter, Julia, named after Tom's beloved late Grandmother.
