Dice’s musical inclinations were evident from a young age, initially exploring choral singing at the Sint-Jozef primary school, before venturing into guitar lessons at the age of eight. Despite an initial desire to learn the trumpet, it was the guitar that would become his instrument of choice, leading to the composition of his first song by twelve.

Adopting Tom Dice as his stage name, he began to carve out his niche as a performer, songwriter, and composer, drawing inspiration from a diverse range of artists including Gavin DeGraw, Taylor Swift, and Damien Rice. The turning point in Dice’s career came in 2008 when he participated in the second season of X Factor Belgium.

Beyond his early achievements, Dice continued to evolve, exploring new musical landscapes and collaborating with other artists.
