In 2001, 20 year-old T (thomas joseph) recorded his first album in the artists collective Vergo: his album resembles a b-movie. It’s a concept album which covers his teenage years, moving from his time spent in his hometown to the city. After this sombre and distressing album which appeared as an ep (now out of print), he wrote a huge amount of songs that he gave out to his friends or distributed around local record shops and cafés in carefully packaged CDRs for interested strangers.
From this collection which makes up a real little treasure, he picked out a few songs to record his second album "the pink lp" on Herzfeld records. This record received a very good press in France (Inrockuptibles, Magic) in England (Plan B) and in Sweden (Gaffa). The "pink Lp" was released for the Sweden on Black Star Foundation records. In 2008 herzfeld released the new album "Bau" and his first single and video for the album's opening track "Roof top".
T (thomas joseph) played at the Sédières and Eurockéennes festival (france) in the ZMF festival in Freiburg, at the King kong club in Berlin and in Brussels)

En solo, ce vidéaste et illustrateur – ponctuellement acteur – orchestre de manière très visuelle ses folk-songs. Son timbre de voix très particulier autorise une comparaison aisée avec l’un des monstres du genre, le grand Nick Drake lui-même. - Festival Génériq-
