real fans know that tommy been working at this for years & has a full discography . he deserves this

So I assume you are a real fan

[@Willojmr]

His album is fire man i’m surprised it’s not getting more love

“Full” is a stretch.

I really enjoyed watching this. It’s always exciting to find a new artist that you like and learn more about their personality and then leave the interview filling like you know them even more excited to see what Tommy brings over the next 10 years.

this guy is such a huge inspiration man, i can’t emphasize how much we need more artists like him

[@CaidenHill-y2n]

1000% he has something fresh. everybody is riding waves these days in rap and pop. people like him, montell fish, dominic fike are some of the few that are pushing boundaries

Jonah being from St. Louis explains Nelly's Luven Me interpolation on GIVE IT ALL. Love it!

[@Kevin_Yagoonie]

Tommy deserves everything good coming to him. He came out with his own style that music is missing now. His voice reminds me of the 70's & 80's Bee Gees

[@RocStarr913]

Yeah, if The Bee Gees were from Appalachia

Much love to this guy! Just started hopping on this train and can't wait to stay on for a minute

[@heartnoise703]

Since the beginning, Tommy has released nothing but masterpieces. If you haven't explored his discography yet, you absolutely should-on all platforms, as some songs are available on SoundCloud but not on KZbin, and vice versa. I’m grateful for the opportunity to see Tommy and Jonah talk and hear their stories and struggles. I just wish the interview had been longer and more detailed. The part about Tommy’s mom made me cry; it was truly beautiful. Please come to Hungary, or at least Germany, when you come to Europe. You are the GOAT. God bless, and much love to you, your family, friends, and team.

[@cindiwindi]

Love you Zane, thank you, Tommy’s been making moves for a minute putting the work in, appreciate seeing him here with you, this is amazing for him

People really sleep on Pleasantville, that's the song that really got me hooked onto Tommy Richman

[@RocStarr913]

If there is no promotion, nobody is going to know about it, brainless.

[@ijustcouldntthinkofabettername]

Pleasantville is literally my Favorite song from this guy lol

[@malibrat]

MAN ❤, the whole nothing to lose, trying to get out, wanting to be heard, and to for you to be HERE NOW 👏👏👏 I’ll go ahead and promote a VA folk artist I met hiking out here in Seattle. Steinza I love his song tricked. Plus he’s a truly amazing man.

[@feveru2ng404]

When he spoke about breathing there are also times where u notice your breathing and try to control it and it just makes it harder, i think thats something that should’ve been talked about

[@CASHXRAT]

Lol that mixing station seems a little excessive for an interview show. What’s he doin all with those screens, monitoring the guest’s vitals?
