Eclectic producer Tyzo Bloom shares lo-fi hip hop bop "Tom Cruise"

Tyzo Bloom aka Casey Chen records and produces all his music at home his garage. A classically trained cellist and pianist Chen spent most of his youth in Japan. After graduating from Berklee, he started his music career as a studio runner with artists like Miguel and Elton John.

Teasing his forthcoming second EP, "Tom Cruise" follows Chen's collaborations with LA-based singer/songwriter Minke on "BEDROOM" and punk-inclined Brooklyn band Pom Pom Squad with "TV". Flitting between hip hop ("Tom Cruise"), alternative ("TV") and more straight-up pop ("BEDROOM") comes naturally to Bloom.

Celebrating the release of the track on Instagram he suggests its status as a bonus track is thanks to its age, saying "["Tom Cruise"] was an old song sitting on my computer collecting dust."

Why put a label on something, why step things up, why seek to define something that doesn't need to be defined if right now things are great? "All I wanna do is cruise" is the track's defining statement.

An exciting step into a different direction for Chen, his forthcoming body of work is set to showcase even more of the talented producer's abilities – especially when it comes to splicing and scrambling genres into his relaxed, chilled soundscapes.
