We had the pleasure of interviewing Thomas Ng over Zoom video. Musicians on TikTok have become more creative in promoting their music, using tried-and-true methods like song covers and newer crazes like Open Verse Challenges to get their songs out there. Boston-based (with roots in both the UK and Hong Kong) creator Thomas Ng is one of the creators rising on the platform with his ability to bring people together through music. Ng grew a massive following of over 210K followers on TikTok with his lucid R&B vocals on song covers and his own original compositions. Ng's "Duet Me" series has also captured the attention of several music creators on the platform, including Lizzo, who participated in one of the open verse challenges. Thomas Ng's vocals are some of the most calming and captivating I've heard on TikTok recently – two of my favorite covers are his renditions of Ed Sheeran's "The Joker And The Queen" (2.2M+ views) and GIVĒON's "Heartbreak Anniversary." His original music has also attracted attention – a debut snippet of his mellow R&B song "One Last Dance" garnered over 12M views on the platform to date inspiring TikTok users to share their own open verses using the duet feature. Thanks to a boost from his TikTok supporters after its official release, "One Last Dance" boasts over 1M+ streams on Spotify. Through his unique open verse challenges and original music, Thomas Ng continues to foster TikTok creators' appetite for creativity and community. We want to hear from you!
