About Me


At only 21 year of age, Singer/Songwriter Rene Thomas has already made significant waves in the Vancouver music scene. In his 11 months of being a solo artist, Rene has drawn attention from some of music's biggest names, such as "The Berman Brothers" (who have produced over 80 Gold and platinum Records), and Universal Europe, (whom he is currently in contract negotiations with).
Taking influence from bands like Coldplay, OLP and Radiohead, Thomas captivates audiences with his soulful lyrics and his rich melodies. Thomas is a breath of fresh air in an industry where musical integrity is often sacrificed for marketability.
While the future is still unclear, one thing is for certain. Rene Thomas is a true up and comer and will have audiences enthralled for years to come. "With a diverse album filled with truthful lyrics, it looks like a music career does start now for René Thomas.” -(YouthInk Magazine)
