With over a decade of experience in the music industry, multiple award nominations, and national recognition at just 24 years old, T. Thomason is a force to be reckoned with in the Canadian music scene.
After 3 albums released between the ages of 14 – 19, T. took a year away from music to begin testosterone hormone therapy and relearn his singing voice, changing his name and pronouns along the way. In 2016, after releasing his EP, sweet baby, T. and producer Dave Henriques (Justin Nozuka / Iskwé) embarked on a new collaborative journey developing the fresh pop sound Thomason has become known for as he prepares to release his first full-length record as T. Thomason, appropriately – self-titled. The album’s first two singles “Bliss” and “Loser” have together earned over 200k Spotify streams.
The 2019 lead up to T.’s album release has been a roller coaster ride. From winning an episode of CTV’s hit music reality TV show, The Launch, and appearing alongside mentors Scott Borchetta, Marie-Mai, Sarah McLachlan, and Alex Hope, to having his launched single “HOPE” reach #4 on the Canadian iTunes Pop chart and #11 overall, crack Canadian Top 40 Radio, and land T. on stages such as the Bell Centre and Parliament Hill on Canada Day, Thomason is more than ready to dive deeper into his story with fans old and new.
T.’s next single, “Birdsong”, is an introduction to the journey of T. Thomason. The album was recorded over the past 4 years – the most intense period of change and growth in Thomason’s young life. This upcoming release is deeply vulnerable and honest – a must hear for anyone who has ever wondered who they are and what is to come.
