Community Guidelines

This is a place for stories, songs, and the people who listen to them. A few simple rules keep it that way.

  1. Be kind. Critique the music, the production or the themes all you like. Don't attack people, whether that's me or anyone else here.
  2. Share your stories, safely. Many songs here are about grief, family, love and hard days, and you're welcome to share what they bring up for you. This is a public space, so only share what you're comfortable with anyone reading, and never post phone numbers, addresses or other people's private details. Please be gentle with other people's stories, and share experiences rather than medical or mental health advice.
  3. Talk about AI honestly and respectfully. I'm open about how this music is made: the stories, lyrics and creative direction are mine. AI may help refine these, and creates the audio and video. Questions and respectful disagreement are welcome. Abuse and pile-ons aren't.
  4. No spam, scams or unsolicited promotion. Promotional links, "promote your music" offers, recruiting pitches, investment schemes and requests to move the chat to another app will be removed.
  5. Beware of impersonators. My official sites and artist pages are always listed on Listen On, including my YouTube Music "Topic" channel. On YouTube, my channel is @tommyjayaimusic, and my replies show my name highlighted as the creator. I will never ask you to message me on Telegram, WhatsApp or anywhere else, and never ask for money, passwords, verification codes or financial details. There are no giveaways in the comments. Please report any account that claims otherwise.
  6. Keep it safe. No hate, harassment, threats, sexual content, impersonation, or deliberate misinformation.
  7. If you're struggling, or worried about someone's safety, please reach out to local emergency or crisis support. In Australia: Lifeline 13 11 14 or Beyond Blue 1300 22 4636. Anywhere else: findahelpline.com.

Comments that break these rules may be held or removed, including comments that derail conversations, bait other people, or target someone who has shared a personal story. Repeat offenders may be hidden from the channel. YouTube's own Community Guidelines always apply too. Thanks for being here.
