Thomas: Layered choral compositions.


Thomas developed his passion for choral music at the ripe age of 15 when he joined the church choir in his home town, a little farming village in Germany.

Later he enjoyed the privilege of singing in the choirs of internationally renowned choir masters, including Karl-Friedrich Beringer, Dale Warland, and Bobby McFerrin. He sang at performances and appears on recordings of the Dale Warland Singers and the Chamber Choir of Europe.

In 2002, Thomas joined the "Dufay Ensemble" Nuremberg, a vocal group dedicated to Reinassance and contemporary choral music and sought after by young international composers for first performances.

Thomas was the musical leader of various amateur vocal ensembles. In 2004, he won a regional contest of the "Detuscher Sängerbund" (German Singers Foundation) with his group "Ensemble Männerklang", whose performance got aired by the "Bayerischer Rundfunk" (Bavarian public radio).

At age 20, he started composing Rock songs; his first Choral arrangements followed a little later and several of them were performed by church choirs and amateur ensembles.

In the late 1990s, Thomas built his own digital sound studio and started recording his own works. In 2005, his "Below - A cappella Mix" was one of 13 winners of the Magnatune Lisa DeBenedictis Remix Contest.

Thomas is also a passionate electric guitar player.
