Collaborating artist with **TOMMASO**, the Chicago-based artist, producer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist **Tommaso Veronesi** (also **Tommy Veronesi** in Chicago teaching/music contexts; [Music House Chicago](https://musichousechicago.com/our-team-blog/tommy-veronesi) lists him teaching guitar, bass, **drums**, piano, ukulele, and rock band). **While Away** was released **May 6, 2022** as **TOMMASO × Scoobert Doobert** ([Spotify](https://open.spotify.com/track/0dwH3M8DZ6Xv2VKAXgwbBy); Apple Music lists the same 2022 alternative single). [Marmoset](https://www.marmosetmusic.com/artists/tommaso) also represents it as **While Away feat. Scoobert Doobert** by TOMMASO: useful licensing/catalog context beyond DSP metadata.
