AboutThomas Fersen is a French actor and singer-songwriter, born on January 4, 1963 in Paris, France. In his teens, he started playing jazz guitar & was a member of 2 punk bands, UU & Figure Of Fun. In the early 80's, he got his Baccalauréat & started studying electronics. In 1986, he found his stage name : his first name came from the footballer Thomas Boyd & his last name came from Hans-Axel de Fersen, Marie-Antoinette's Swedish lover. The newly-named Thomas travelled to South America & came back to Paris. In 1988, he met Vincent Frèrebeau, Vogue's artistic director & released 2 7", "Ton Héros, Jane" in 1988 & "Le Peuple De La Nuit" in 1990.
In 1992, Thomas signed to WEA/Warner. In 1993, he released his debut album Le Bal Des Oiseaux & received a Victoire De La Musique for "Album Revelation" the following year. In 1997, he moved to Tôt Ou Tard, Frèrebeau's own label. On France's Music Day in 2003, French Culture Minister Jean-Jacques Aillagon decorated Thomas "Chevalier Des Arts Et Des Lettres". Tender, romantic, ironic & dreamer, the singer was more & more appreciated by the audience for every album release. Little seen on TV but very present on stage, Thomas is one of the most appreciated French singers.
