My Take
As the longtime lead guitarist of Thirty Seconds to Mars, Tomo Milicevic shaped a sound that filled arenas, and that alone earns my attention. Born in Sarajevo and raised through difficult times before emigrating to the United States, he became a Bosnian Croat-American musician and producer who played, recorded, and built that band's identity from 2003 to 2018. His handle, tomofromearth, has a wink I appreciate. The arc from Oakland Community College to a global rock act is genuinely cinematic. I am keen to hear where his post-band work takes him next.
