TMS are an English songwriting and record production team, composed of Tom 'Froe' Barnes, Ben Kohn and Peter 'Merf' Kelleher, originating from West London. They are the writing/production team behind G-Eazy and Bebe Rexha's "Me, Myself & I", Jess Glynne's "Don't Be So Hard On Yourself", Sigma's "Changing", Professor Green's "Read All About It", Emeli Sandé's "Read All About It, Pt. III", Little Mix's "Wings" and Dappy's "No Regrets"[1] which on 25 September 2011, became the eleventh homegrown chart topper in a row, eclipsing a record set in 1963 when UK artists held the number one spot for an uninterrupted run of ten singles.[2] Their records played major roles in Sandé and Little Mix breaking chart records, the former in the UK (the longest ever stay in the top 10 of the UK Albums Chart)[3] and the latter in the US (first album from British girl group to go straight into US album chart top 5).[4]

Career

The members of TMS met at school when they were nine and have worked together since they were 13. Their name is an acronym with various meanings including The Music Shed as their first studio was in a converted garden shed.[5] They were, along with Gavin Jones, the dance act "The Breakfastaz" who won "Best Breakthrough Act" at the 2005 Breakspoll awards and performed as DJs around the world.[6] They worked as music producers on the 2012 series of X-Factor.[7]
