Tom Cartman is an English teacher living in Taiwan since 2000. His love of English is surpassed only by his love of music and his ever growing collection of vinyl records.

Under the name Birdienumnums Music, Tom has been buying and selling music online since 1995... but things cannot always stay the same!

In August of 2022 Tom opened a physical shop in his adopted home of beautiful Chiayi City, Taiwan. Realizing that the name Birdienumnums didn't really say much about the shop or the business, a name change was in order, and Music Box TW was conceived

Tom loves most pop music and can happily engage in a discussion about many artists, especially the ones you've never heard of. His musical tastes range from ABBA to Zappa and everything in between. Just don't make him listen to hip hop or jazz.

Tom played in a few bands in high school and recorded a couple of independently released CDs in college, but has since decided to leave that to the professionals. He is a terrible keyboardist, lousy bassist, and sloppy guitar player. His vocal range is limited but he means well. In a pinch, he can keep the beat on a set of drums, as long as there are no fills or cymbals involved.
