Versatility is the key

About Me

My names Thomas Jules and I'm a singer/songwriter. I currently live in the coolest place on the planet: Brighton!
I began performing at a very young age, and at just 16 I was signed to Mercury/Polygram; I released 2 singles and supported the Backstreet Boys on their European tour, which was such an amazing experience for me.
A number of things lead to me leaving my record deal, and now at 18 my musical tastes had developed and I got into the underground music scene listening to Jungle, Drum'n'Bass, Garage & Hip-Hop. This lead to me becoming an MC, and soon after I was performing in clubs all over London. This is where I met fellow MC's Dan & Jamie, who later became members of the band I created '3rd Edge'.
In 2000 we were signed to EMI/Parlophone and released our first single 'In and Out'. The single reached No.15 in the UK charts. We went on to release a second single 'Know you Wanna' which was also a top 20 hit. We supported the Sugababes and performed in two Smash Hits! tours and on the Blues and Soul tour. As well as numerous TV appearances including TOTP and CD:UK. We were released from our deal in 2003.
I then took some time out from performing and satrted concertrating more on songwriting. I have been lucky enough to work with some amazing writers, and a recent collaboration lead to one of my songs being placed with Simon Webbe (Blue), which can be found on his 2nd solo album, 'Grace'.
I am currently still writing with different writers and producers on tracks both for my solo career and to pitch to other artists. .
The songs on my profile are my writing efforts, and have all been demoed by myself. My solo material is under development and will be up here as soon as its done. For more info don't hesitate to send me a message. Thanks for stopping by and showing your support ...

My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 6/7/2006
Band Website: Coming soon!.....
Band Members: Me & my alter-Ego...
Influences: Growing up we had a few performers within the family, I would hear music around the house from Soka, Reggae and Soul to Country & Western, House, Rare Groove and Rock. Subcontiously I think this had a big influence on my musical taste. As a child I was also a fan of musials such as West Side Story and Seven Brides for Seven Brothers. They really enhanced my want to perform. The 80's were a big influence on me, I love the melodies and the electronic pop sound, however i think this mainly came from film soundtracks of that era, such as Back to the future and Teen Wolf! Another Influence, like many other children who grew up in the 80's, is Michael Jackson, he took pop to another level and really set the standard for future male performers. Nowadays I have a very eclectic taste in music and listen to everything form Donny Hatherway, through The Audio Bullys to The Coral and everything in between.
Sounds Like: A hit to me?!
