Bio

Thomas Howard has a history as a vocalist/songwriter and has fans in many nations. Often compared to singers such as Stephen Bishop, Glen Frey, and John Mayer; he has a soft intimate sound that lends itself well to eurobeat, funk, soul, jazz, country, pop, and rock music. As a vocalist featured in the music-oriented Konami arcade, Play Station2, and X-box games, his voice is known by game fans all over the world, and especially in Asia. He can be heard on over 30 tracks on such popular games as: DrumMania, GuitarFreaks, DanceDanceRevolution, Beatmania,Pop-n-Music, DanceManiax, and more. During the first live show at the Tokyo game convention thousands of Japanese teenagers sang along with the English lyrics to the Songs Depend on Me and Midnight Special, both co-written by Thomas and Konami staff songwriters. Both songs are popular hits from DrumMania and GuitarFreaks. The second Tokyo live show was also a pretty wild time as you can see by the background photo here! Also a while back, an E-mail from a DJ in San Fransisco said the following: "My name is Dominic and I'm a DJ from San Francisco, CA, USA... I just wanted to say that "Ballad For You" is one of the best slow jams I've heard and there haven't been any songs like that that have that enveloping atmosphere to it." "I came across it while playing "Beatmania IIDX: 6th Mix New Songs Collection" and I was hooked. I played it at a gig I had and it practically overcrowded the dancefloor, and I had a bunch of people afterwards asking me about the song and I just told them to search for Thomas Howard and that was that..." "Just wanted to add that you are the first Beatmania artist outside of my homie mixmaster mike that I have actually found successfully. Since most Beatmania artists are hard to track down... Thanks again for taking the time to read this, and hope to see more of your stuff added to the beatmania series."
