Clufetos, as mentioned above, got into music really early. He has his father, Tommy Clufetos Sr., to thank for that.
Born on December 30, 1979, in Detroit, Michigan, he started drumming before most kids finish kindergarten. He got given his first pair of drumsticks when he was six.

After that, life was just a balancing act between music and school — he attended Rochester Adams High School in Rochester and played music whenever possible.
As soon as he could play well, he played for his father's band. He did so throughout his developmental stages in life and attended school only with a few hours of sleep under his belt every night.
He moved to Los Angeles after a while, and it was there that his professional career started, learning from Ozzy Osbourne and Ted Nugent. But in reality, his musical journey began alongside his father.
During an interview with Relics Magazine in May 2021, when asked what his inspiration was to pursue music, he cited his father and family as his biggest inspirations. He rightly included him in his latest solo project.
In 2021, he released his first solo album, Tommy's RockTrip: Beat Up By Rock' N' Roll. On the album is a song titled 'Power of Three,'
The song is the most special in the entire album. One reason is — his father is on the saxophone for the song.
