Thomas Clay

FAME’s frontman – Thomas Clay’s journey into music started at age 3 when he first sat down at a piano. Self taught and playing by ear,  his first “concert” was playing for his school at age 6. “I still remember that day, I was in catholic school, and well, you just do what you are told”. 

Over his career that includes involving himself with a broadway musical, writing and directing feature films – Thomas’s first passion has always been making music, and performing infront of audiences. 

“I quickly learned the tribute bands take a lot of serious dedication and commitment – and I  never imagined that  I would be involved in one – there is  a handful of artist I would want to play tribute to; David Bowie is at the top of that list.”
