SHAWN THOMAS

SUNDAY MAY 24, 2009

 

Shawn Thomas

Since the release of his first album "Come My Way" in 1993, Shawn Thomas has proven himself one of the most diligent and persistent performers and recording artists. Pursuing his talents in many directions including songwriting, producing, musical theater, dance and choreography, choral directing, and vocal instruction, Shawn Thomas emerges not only as a competent  singer, but as a dynamic and versatile entertainer.


 After a decade of resisting the encouragement of others to incorporate his faith into his music, in 2003 Shawn released his first "spiritual" project, "Everything I Am".  This began a completely unplanned journey for Shawn into music ministry, and over the past four and a half years has introduced him to a way of worship through music he previously thought impossible.  "I was afraid to sing religious music, because I didn't think I would be allowed to do the kind of music that I enjoy.  I grew up being exposed only to traditional hymns and classically based music in church, so I didn't think of contemporary music as something that could be used in worship and praise."  Now, in a world saturated with American Idols and Star Search moments, Shawn Thomas brings to the world of music a truth beyond reality programming. With his dramatic new CD release, "Faith Unashamed", Shawn portrays an array of emotion and thought with the artistic delivery for which he is known, combined with a more deliberate message of spirituality and love.


Having received awards for dance, songwriting and as a recording artist, Shawn has been guest artist and/or speaker at church conferences for multiple denominations and has appeared coast to coast for Pride Events.  Shawn’s ministry is focused on the reflection of God’s Grace in all his performances.
