Thomas Armstrong

Thomas Armstrong is a 22 year old Singer/Songwriter from the West Yorkshire city of Bradford. His music incorporates melancholy minor chords with poppy song structures as well as more alternative formats and progressions sometimes bordering on folk. His lyrics capture both the pain of love and the hope of life as well as endeavouring into experimental story telling of war and outer body experiences. As a young boy Thomas showed a unique talent towards vocal experimentation and singing and as he grew older he was trained to sing as part of a large ensemble at his local church. At the age of nine Thomas was diagnosed with Mild Autism. This lead to him learning to play the drums in order to harness his some what erratic creative nature, however he never stopped singing, moving on to sing as part of his middle school's quire. At the age of fourteen Thomas first picked up an acoustic guitar when he was bought a Yamaha F310 for Christmas. He immediately took to the instrument, writing his first two songs within two months long before even learning his first cover. The years since have seen Thomas write a number of songs in varying styles experimenting with chords normally found in more experienced players but also acknowledging the importance of simple structures, yet Thomas always tried to add his own twist to progressions that would normally be seen as being quite standard. Thomas has also gathered an extensive number of cover songs, once again always adding his own twist on the songs in order to make them his own, whilst still ensuring the essence of the songs remained. In September of 2010 Thomas will be going to the University of Huddersfield in order to study a Bachelor of Arts in Popular Music Production where he intends to record and produce his debut album, to be released on iTunes and Spotify as well as on Compact Disc before the end of 2014atl.---------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------- You should create your own MySpace Layouts like me by using nUCLEArcENTURy .COM's MySpace Profile Editor !
