Bio
Like the sound of smooth vinyl coming through your Ipod headphones, Thomas Kjorven has defined himself by electrifying the classic feel of his groovy blues piano licks. Over 500 hours in live performances, two studio albums, an EP and four years later, Thomas brings us his latest, self-titled creation. Soulful stories and heartfelt lyrics pack his new self-titled album. “ It will keep your head bobbing from start to finish as the lyrics draw you deep into my heart” says Kjorven. “I want to capture people with a new sound and find common ground through my lyrics. My aim was to create an album that I would buy. One I would listen to on repeat in my car.” While pursuing his original dream of performing arts and theatre, Thomas found himself frequenting the drama room piano more than anything else. “ It wasn’t until then I realized that I was a musician. From then on all I wanted to do was immerse myself in the creative process of making music.” Working out of his home studio in Kelowna, BC, Thomas produces and records all of the music entirely on his own. “I’m just fascinated with audio production and the creative process.” When asked about his influences, Thomas doesn’t skip a beat before replying, “Everything from the likes of neo-soul legend D’Angelo to the folk roots of Ben Harper and Ray LaMontagne.” This range of influences has managed to put the Kjorven sound in a refreshingly unique niche. “ I have yet to find what genre my music completely fits into. I haven’t heard any artist that sounds like me. I think that’s a good thing. I would definitely say it’s unique.” What does the future hold? The answer put simply by Thomas. “I have just begun my musical journey. More recording, more touring, and more writing are all goals of mine. I am in constant motion writing and creating new songs and I always look forward to sharing them with people.”
