BIOGRAPHY
TJ Tham, 27, is currently a second year guitarist at the Royal Northern College of Music (RNCM) where he studies under the internationally acclaimed guitarist Craig Ogden (whom recently premiered a guitar concerto live for the BBC).

At the RNCM, TJ has also the opportunity to work alongside the great pedagogue Gordon Crosskey (a student of Segovia and good friend to John Williams). On top of being the first ever guitarist to be awarded the Ian-Hollingshead Fox bursary and RNCM bursary upon entrance to the college, TJ has performed extensively at the RNCM (mainly ensemble) and all over the United Kingdom.

Although a late starter of the guitar at the age of 19, TJ showed tremendous passion and love for the classical guitar. Not long after, he was fortunate enough to meet Gary Ryan (Guitarist, Composer, and Assistant Head of Strings at the Royal College of Music) at a summer camp here in Malaysia where he was recommended to audition for the conservatoires in the UK. At the age of 25, he was accepted to the RNCM and has never looked backed ever since.

His success as a guitarist can be attributed to the lessons and masterclasses he has had with Gary Ryan, Carlos Bonnell, David Russell, Xue Fei Yang, Berta Rojas, Julian Byzantine, and many others.
