Who is Lydia Thomas?I’ve been singing from the day I could sit on my mama's knee. At the age of eight, I wrote my first piece of music. Inspired by what I could find in the local newspaper, I started to put tunes to poems in my teens. As one born last century, my own unique lyrics finally found the exit sign. Fighting an internal battle to stop my ’impossible wishful dreaming’ to be fully living with music, I lost. Or, dare I say, music won! What drives me to work so hard? Listening to good music affects me. How I feel there and then, decides what music I need. A song that describes something we can identify with and participate in expressing, gives positive energy. I hope my songs can do what other artists’ songs have done for me.Now I am wandering around in Music landscapes. I come from Drummerland in an all-girl band, and I still LOVE drums. It was my first love. Playing on the backside of my mum’s saucepans with her knitting needles did not win me any family popularity award, however. Neither ditto on the backside of her guitar. So I turned it around and found the strings. They have been with me since. I was both vocalist and guitarist in SKYTRIGGER, a rock band, and the last band I was in before I launched the CURE fOR CAIN-project.I have scarcely any formal musical education at all. Actually, if you check out the three live videos, you may hear that I didn’t even know how to use the sustain pedal on the grand piano. Did it stop me? Ha ha! No. I have since learned a few key-personell tricks.
