Dave Thomas is an English Pianist/Accordionist based in Portsmouth, UK, and with his partner in São Paulo, Brazil. Already familiar to many fans of French composer Yann Tiersen from his popular YouTube account - on which he covers, entirely by ear, works from the critically acclaimed Amelie soundtrack with an astonishing degree of musicality and touch.
As a result Dave was featured on the front page of Youtube and shortly afterwards 2 of his Tiersen covers, "La Noyee" and "La valse d'Amelie Piano" reached the million views mark.
Now, with a total view count nearing 10 million, Dave is attempting to forge a solo career off the back of a rapidly growing following. Please send all enquries to info@davethomasmusic.co.uk.

Hey there, Hope you are doing well, and that even though you haven't recently updated your website, you are still continuing with your musical endeavors. I also wanted to say, and I hope this doesn't sound cliche or superficial, your music has been a revelation to me, and a muse to my own aspirations. Seeing a young ambitious person as yourself come from out of nowhere and flourish has helped me determine what I want to do with my life, and more importantly made me enthusiastic about it. You have also opened my mind to a whole new realm of beautiful music. Never had the sound of the accordion been so beseeching to me than when I heard you play for the first time. I kid you not. For your music to have that much impact on a person halfway across the globe says something big. So for lord's sake, don't even think of stopping now. :) You're almost there. Sincerely, Hannah P.S. At what age did you pick up the accordion and how long have you been at it?
