Tom Wurth grew up in Marcus, Iowa [population 1,500] where hard work was everything and nothing was for free. Both of his parents were teachers [K-8]. His mom was a music teacher at a Catholic school and his dad taught special education.

Tom inked his first publishing deal with Belden Enterprises where he honed his skills as a songwriter such that he enticed an offer from a major publishing company--BMG Music Publishing. Tom has since written with a long list of accomplished songwriters including Bart Butler, John Ford Coley, Ken Mellons and John Jarrard.

In 2002 Tom scored two major cuts including a co-write with David Frasier and Bill Luther entitled "If The Road Runs Out" recorded by Ty Herndon (SONY/Epic) and "I Can't Kick My Country" [written with Bart Butler and Ken Mellons]. Mellons cut the single for a NASCAR compilation CD entitled INSIDE TRAXX.
