Thomas J. Marchant was born in 1986 in Maidstone, Kent. After a few years growing up and a brief spell of living in Oakton, Virginia, he was diagnosed with asthma and encouraged to learn a wind instrument as his mother had heard it was good to help counteract the condition, and thus at age 9 he joined the school band with a saxophone about half his size.
He grew up listening to the muffled sound of indie and Brit-Pop bands being played in his sister’s bedroom below, and eventually, at the turn of the century, began to develop his own taste in music, starting with Southern California pop-punk and ska-punk bands, before getting into the likes of electronica, post-rock and 80s college rock.
In his teenage years, there was a string of unsuccessful bands (often equipped with a website full of photos and song lyrics, but no music to show for themselves), until eventually an A-Level in Music Technology got him interested in music production. His first experiences of recording (on a non-academic level) were co-producing a song by his friends’ band, The Space Machine, and countless semi-improvised songs in his two bands, The Pong Bandits and Black Zarak.
It was around this time that Thomas started to work on his own material, under the name of Station for Imitation, which was mostly comprised of squelchy electronica. This morphed into The Antennaheadz around the time that Thomas was at university in Plymouth and getting into dance music in a big way.
