About Me

Embracing new school technology and old school melodies, Josh da Costa established that in 2006 he'd finally get his act together, write some songs that he felt personified his musical inner workings, record them on his own, and write a generic biography about himself. With all of those things said and done, he is Skipper Thomas, you are Skipper Thomas, we are Skipper Thomas.
