BALCONYTV LONDON 23/08/2009 PRESENTED BY LAYLA ANNA-LEE
Auditioning as a young professional, Thomas felt at home in both the West End and operatic worlds. It wasn't long before Thomas decided that he would like to develop his own sound. 'This is my voice, this is how I sing. I am simply not a person who is content at sitting back waiting for something to happen, if you want something, you have to go out and get it yourself.'
And so the idea was born to record an album, It has been the most enlightening experience. Making music is just amazing, watching it grow and come together. What I have learnt both as an individual and as part of a team is invaluable. It's been hard, very hard, with all the control comes the responsibility of getting everything right. Producing an album on your own inevitably pushes the boundaries and presents what seems to be endless challenges, as it takes you way beyond the music, but at the end of the day I've enjoyed every minute of it'
Thomas has done everything himself, he has set up a record label, Cove Records, and production company, TSW Productions. ' I've dreamt about being signed to a record label, only I never envisaged it would be my own!
The possibilities are endless, he is unique in the fact that he not only sings but manages every aspect of the performance process. His creative talent manifests itself in producing, recording and marketing. He is as passionate about his musicians as he is about his own performance and places great importance on devising the programme for live performances in addition to finding the right blend of artistes to undertake it. The future looks to be a mixture of the unknown with the certainty that Thomas will achieve what he sets out to do and with the growing support he is receiving, we can all look forward to the excitement that the future may bring.
