One lyricist. 29 years. 433 original songs across 34 albums. Ratings G through X. Free to read. Available to record. No label. No instrument. No one came to find him. He kept writing anyway.
Tom Jensen is a lyricist from Salem, Massachusetts. He started writing on a bathroom wall at 16. Over the next 29 years he produced 433 original songs — spread across 34 titled albums — without ever recording himself, without a label, without an instrument, and largely without an audience.
Collaborhythm is the system he built around this catalog. The idea: lyrics are a raw material. Musicians find what resonates, claim it, and make something with it. Tom writes the words. The music is the collaboration. Revenue shares with everyone who records.
"I had 10,000 YouTube subscribers early on. Made 120 songs with international collaborators. Then stopped. Fell hard for someone who was a John Lennon woman — traveled to Denmark to court her. Stayed three months. It didn't work out. Came back broken. Stopped making music. Dented a can. Got my shit back together. This website is what came next."
— Tom Jensen
