THOMASINA

Thomasina blends acoustic pop and synth beats for a unique sound that spans genres. Beginning with her roots in country music inspired by Patsy Cline and Kacey Musgraves, and moving toward pop beats with the rhythms of Julia Micheals and Ariana Grande, Thomasina has incorporated what she has learned from the genres in between and combined them into her own unique style of storytelling. Her primary genres are Pop, Country/Folk and Singer-Songwriter. Thomasina found her passion for songwriting at 10 years old and has taught nearly a hundred students in various instruments since then.

She has experience teaching songwriting, voice, guitar, piano, and ukulele to students of all ages. She enjoys crossing over between instruments and genres to provide a well-rounded knowledge of music. It is her greatest passion to pass the gift of music on to others. Through music, Thomasina has found a way to communicate and wants to help others find that passion as well.
