TOM KALDOR

Tom Kaldor is a poet, lyricist, writer, drummer and entrepreneur living on Gadigal land in the East of Sydney. He sees himself as a creative generalist: a performer of many trades, none mastered. Across all of his mediums, he combines instinctive rhythms with considered words. Tom was the NSW champion and national third place in the Australian Poetry Slam in 2021. This year he has been the feature poet at the Bankstown Poetry Slam, Poets Out Loud and the West Side Slam. Tom makes hip hop as “The Middle” (equal parts music and social change project), writes Laws of Creativity (uncovering creativity across the legal profession) and builds AJUST (helping consumers and businesses resolve complaints).
