Tommy Cash

Tomas Tammemets (born 18 November 1991), better known by his stage name Tommy Cash (sometimes stylised as TOMM¥ €A$H), is an Estonian rapper and singer.

He is known for raunchy lyrical themes and provocative music videos.

Cash was born Tomas Tammemets in Tallinn, Estonia.

He is reportedly of mixed ethnic Estonian, Russian, Ukrainian and Kazakh ancestry.

Cash has described himself as Estonian first and foremost, then "Eastern European in his soul", and "Scandinavian in a CV".

Cash was raised in the working-class Kopli subdistrict of Tallinn.

In his youth, Cash was reportedly a graffiti artist.

He has said that his drug use led him to be "ejected" from schooling.

He never graduated from secondary school, despite sitting for exams, and later took up painting and dancing instead of formal education.

In the dance scene, Cash is a known freestyle dancer with a very distinct style, using elements of popping, krumping, and breakdancing.

Cash’s first international concert was in Riga.

In 2018, Cash released a clothing line that subversively imitates American styles with European elements and in-jokes.

In November 2018, Cash released his second album, ¥€$, to positive reviews from Clash and Paper. The album features vocal performances from MC Bin Laden, Charli XCX, Rick Owens, and Caroline Polachek, as well as production from Danny L Harle, A. G. Cook, Amnesia Scanner, and Boys Noize.

In 2019, Cash had an exhibition at Kumu art museum in Tallinn.

Collaborating with Rick Owens, he exhibited his own sperm, among other artefacts.

Also in 2019, Cash was the opener for Oliver Tree's Goodbye, Farewell Tour alongside NVDES.

On 30 January 2020, Cash unveiled his first official tour in the United States, starting on March 22.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the tour was re-scheduled for 2022.
