Born in 1979 in the San Francisco Bay Area, Tom BetGeorge has been studying and writing music for most of his life. In 2002, he received his bachelor's degree in Music from UC Berkeley followed by a master's degree in Media Writing and Production from the University of Miami in 2006. He is still pursuing his Ph.D. with an expected dissertation on overcoming vocal obstacles on non-western choral development. He has received numerous awards in performance and writing at both local and national levels. He also serves as a judge for multiple competitions to include the USA Songwriting Competition, the largest songwriting competition in the world. Regularly featured on international television, Mr. BetGeorge has served as a talent coordinator, piano performer, music teacher, worship leader, and an orchestra and choir director for eight musicals, three schools, one opera house, and eleven churches.

Aside from music, Mr. BetGeorge has many passions including fitness, sports, martial arts, and of course, working with youth. You can usually find him windsurfing on Saturdays at the Cal-Sailing Club in Berkeley. Perhaps his biggest passion, however, is advocating for lower-income and homeless families in both Florida and California, where he has initiated and led non-profit organizations.

Currently, Mr. BetGeorge is the Contemporary Music Director here at Centerville Presbyterian as well as the music director at the Quarry Lane School in Dublin. With all the time left he can salvage from his regular duties, he invests in his career as a performer/songwriter under contract with Outta-Line Entertainment. At this time, Mr. BetGeorge is studying with world-renown vocal coaches Raz Kennedy as well as Seth Riggs, whose current and past students include Josh Groban, Kelly Clarkson, Michael Jackson, Natalie Cole, and the late Ray Charles.
