ThomAs TroutmAn is a talented musician,
writer, producer, dancer, actor, and
director from Dayton, Ohio.
Whilst his grounding came from his family the late great
Troutman Brothers (of Zapp &
Roger fame) ThomAs began to get himself known whilst playing in
venues all
over the world touring with The Zapp
Band - he is always keen to bring
something unique to a traditional show; a whole new energy in whatever
he is
involved in. For this reason, his emphasis on performing has been
enhanced by
his ability to play piano, and study vocal technique as well as other
instruments including the drums, percussion, saxophone, and even some
mild
guitar. As well he has learned the business and performing sides of
live
performing and Touring. In other words this young man is prepared for a
career
of longevity.
In 2011, ThomAs TroutmAn
released his debut album Pressure
worldwide via DSN Music.
Pressure
consists of
seventeen original songs and interludes from ThomAs, each providing a
combination of his high-energy pop tracks- most of which are produced
by the
young talented artist- melodious vocals and heartfelt lyrics. The
rhythmic
undercurrent bears testament to the trials of ThomAs' childhood
experiences and
life lessons learned thus far by him. The music is punctuated
throughout with
elements of Club Pop, Hip-Hop, R&B, and Soul.
As well as producing the
music on his album, ThomAs is also in the process of developing his own
multi-media business, SuperSTARmediaGroup,
LLC. ThomAs is the CEO of this
growing business, "this is just one of the many visions God has blessed
me
with.. I see so clearly all that is about to come out of my many dreams
and my
life time aspirations" said Troutman.
"I'm excited to get out
there and bless my generation with influences of peace, love, Joy and
dignity.
It's time that the world witnesses all of those elements that are so
crucial to
life and I'm going to bring it to the industry. I want to use my gifts
to be an Inspiration to my Generation. That is my purpose here, to let
them
know that
music can be done in a family friendly fashion without profanity and
degrading
lyrics. It can be done with truth and substance. This is my destiny.
That's
what I am about."
Pressure was
recorded
at Troutman's House Studios in Dayton,
and was produced by ThomAs TroutmAn
and the legendary Terry "Zapp"
Troutman
from the group Zapp.
