His peak era would begin in mid-2011, thanks to one of his most recognisable tunes, titled \"The End\". This has been one of his largest hits to date. This made him quickly noticed by high-profile DJs such as Tiësto, David Guetta, Swedish House Mafia, Afrojack, and Laidback Luke. \"The End\" pushed Tommy further into international fame.\n
