About Tom McDonough.
Thomas McDonough has been involved in the music industry since 1995 as owner of WROM Radio Detroit and WROM Records that was partnered with MI-5 Records/Universal Music Group. WROM Radio originated in Detroit as a passion project in 2010. McDonough's novel approach to radio, complementing celebrity interviews with independent music of all genres, is an uncharted territory.This approach has allowed independent artists to receive the exposure and resources necessary to ensure the greatest amount of success as possible, while providing established celebrities with a unique platform to express ideas. McDonough officially started building the WROM Radio Detroit network from the ground up in late 2010. As a native of the Detroit area, McDonough has always held music motor city in high regard. Although, a sudden and steep introduction to the music world during the late 1990's is what opened Thomas' eyes to the vast possibilities of radio, ultimately leading him to explore and thrive in the internet radio market. It is McDonough's well sought after discernment along with his unique insight that has helped him craft WROM into a media powerhouse.  These days, McDonough co-hosts a weekly radio show with Dave Bickler, former lead singer of the band Survivor and owns the record label RL Recordings in Detroit.
