A little confused yet? No problem, Thomas deals with that all
the time. After all, this guy answers to any of three reasonable
names and probably a lot more unreasonable ones! Named at birth
Thomas, commonly called Tom, and signing his name Thom, you take
your pick what you call him but just make sure he know you are
calling him or he's liable to wander aimlessly in deep thought.
He may be thinking about new music, new lyrics, or just how many
guitar strings he still has to break before he makes the book of
world records.
Thomas was born in sunny Los Angeles, California. After several
failed attempts to leave LA, he's still calling LA his temporary
home with his lovely wife Michelle and his kids.
"I've been writing music , songs, for a number
of years now. Seems it's just in me to express something deeper
and music is the only way that seems to work for me. At first I
didn't know really what it was I was writing about, just letting
it kind of flow. I tried forcing myself to write about something
in particular, staying on topic, but that didn't work very well.
After a while I stopped trying so hard and started listening
more. There's a voice, a sound out there, and sometimes I hear it
or feel it. It's saying something like "don't forget, or
don't giveup". Sometimes that voice and sound come together
in a song. That's how a lot of my songwriting gets done."
