Thomas Hedley is a singer,song-writer,performer and co-producer,and comes from the island republic of Malta, but has British ancestors, like most of the Maltese people...He started singing and writing songs at age 12,and he is also a keyboard player...His style is influenced by both past and present, mainly the Beatles,especially George Harrison, Morissey and the Smiths, Crowded house, and today's Franz Ferdinand, The Calling,Hoobastank,U2,Snow Patrol,Coldplay and Stereophonics among others.. Thomas Hedley writes very catchy and heartfelt tunes, almost always involving love of some kind, and simple and commonly-used lyrics...some people are made to shout, Thomas sings from the heart upwards...His single 'Is it too late', has been described by professional review critics as ' out of your many good songs, this one in particular plays perfectly to your strengths vocally, lyrically and musically', and 'this track is ready-made for a rock classic'..
2007 was very crucial to Thomas's musical future,when he released no less than 5 singles,all making it in the top 40 charts of local radio stations,and being requested by many people..Thomas was nominated for the 'best newcomer' award,both in the Malta music awards and the Bay Radio music awards held in 2007 ,and his song 'My first love' was an instant hit.. In the last week of January,'Going down',a slow,powerful,reflective song,has been released,airing on local radios and reaching the top 40 charts and top 10 maltese charts on 897 bay...the band gigged at V5 bar in February,and then again at Rookies in May...The good-mood brit pop song 'Put your hands up' was released in July,stiring a bit of controversy..Some local radio stations deemed in too brit pop,and did not play it..Other stations played it and it was heavily requested,reaching the top 20 countdown show both on xfm and super one ...The band's most important gig so far this year was at the farsons great beer festival,where they played the rock arena on Thursday 31st July,to a packed crowd...
September has come and seen the release of the new single 'pretend',a powerful uptempo pop rock song,in the style of 'still miss you so',the first single...the first 8 singles are going to be the backbone of Thomas Hedley's first album,so variety in style and tempo are a must....
Thomas was nominated for Best Male artist at the Malta Music Awards,and December has seen the much awaited Big 40 event,at Chiaroscuro Valletta,where the crowd was big and wonderful,and the event was a success...Then,for Christmas 2008,a very much welcome Award for Thomas..His song,'Is it too late',was awarded the 'record of the year' on Radio Six Scotland,an award which makes courage not only to Thomas,but to all the musicians and artists wishing to promote their work abroad...
2009 .....
Thomas Hedley and his band got a good set together,and a new single out ,'In ecstasy'....The band performed their single during the May 1st celebrations,and were guests during the highly acclaimed 'Malta fashion awards'..They did 2 live gigs,and ended in style with a very good performance at the 'Farsons Beer Festival',infront of a very good crowd..
The time has come for Thomas to move on...Not enough promotion on local radio waves,and the high cost it requires to promote your material here in Malta,where amateur wannabees can compete with real talented artist,just because of good financial backing,made Thomas think again...
He will continue with his pop rock project,but only as a side project..Meanwhile,Thomas is preparing songs in country style,and hopes that nnext year,some international achievement is gained....For more info,also visit www.myspace.com/tomhedley....
