BBC Introducing Artist
DISCOGRAPHY
BIOGRAPHY
Thomas is a UK-based composer writing post-classical and orchestral music for screen.
His sound is unhurried and thoughtful — piano and strings used patiently, with synths and texture brought in where they help, all in the service of music that lets emotion surface rather than imposing it. He's most drawn to projects where the score works quietly: contemplative, atmospheric, character and narrative-driven works..
He holds an MA in Orchestration for Film, Games and Television. His recent orchestral work was recorded with the City of Prague Philharmonic, and his music has been featured on BBC Radio 3's Sleeping Forecast. His debut album Nova was released in 2026.
Thomas works from his studio in Surrey, near London, UK.
TESTIMONIALS
“Thomas is an exceptionally talented composer with a very clear individual voice. His music is ravishing, emotional and lyrical and he has a gift for storytelling. Any director or production would be lucky to have him."
Guy Michelmore, Composer for Marvel, Dreamworks, Lionsgate and Disney
"Working with Tom as a mixing engineer was a real pleasure. His writing is not only musically compelling, with a unique voice, but also deeply sympathetic to the strengths and limitations of the ensemble. The whole process was smooth and efficient. Tom’s orchestrations and compositions are as thoughtful, clear, and a joy to work with as he is."
Tim Johnson, Mixing Engineer
