Tom Ameen’s Disney Music
Check out the full episode here:
Tom Ameen moved from Cleveland to Los Angeles to move his career forward!
Growing up, Tom, loved Disney World, and Disney music. His parents encouraged
his musical growth by taking him to piano lessons, which gave him more exposure
to Disney music. As Tom got older, he realized that being in a musician in
Cleveland, Ohio wasn’t a good location for him to be able to support his career
has a musician.
Tom was encouraged by a friend to move out to California to gain exposure and
money for his music. Being a Disney fan, it made sense for him to be close to
Disneyland and to embrace the area that Walt Disney himself spent much of his
life.
Tom has several relaxation albums, as well as two Disney albums, available for
purchase below. In this interview we talk about his musical career, but also his
road blocks of moving across the county, and how he overcame them.
