Guy Thomas
Guy Thomas is a songwriter, composer, singer, and performing musician who has recorded with and written for some of the major names in popular music. A child prodigy, Guy began his musical studies at age three and was giving public recitals at age seven. A sensation in his native Ohio, Guy was sought out and signed by RCA executives in New York as a solo artist. Unprepared for the demands of a solo record deal and drawn to the west coast rock scene, Guy left his solo endeavors to join a band; performing and touring with a wide array of well-known recording artists [writing, singing and playing lead-guitar, bass and keyboards]. Guy had the good fortune of playing with such artists as Sheena Easton, Laura Branigan, Barry Manilow, Burt Bacharach and Carole Bayer-Sager, David Foster, Michael McDonald and Jackson Browne. Between tours, Guy was well established in Los Angeles as a composer; writing, producing, and playing on numerous local and national radio and television commercials.
In the eighties, Guy signed as a staff songwriter for Chardax Music Co. and had his songs recorded by several top artists who included Carly Simon, Kenny Rogers, Smokey Robinson and Kenny Loggins.
In 1984, when Kenny Loggins reached new heights in his solo career with songs like “Footloose” and other soundtrack hits, he assembled an exceptional band which included Guy as lead guitarist, singer and co-songwriter.
When Loggin’s wasn’t touring, Guy was performing with other pop/rock artists including Amy Grant, Bruce Hornsby, The Rembrandts, Timothy B. Schmidt to name a few.
Since signing with Cherry Lane Music Publishing Co. in 1996, Guy has worked almost exclusively on various television and film projects. He co-wrote and produced most of the songs for the Golden Globe nominated film, Ghost World (a John Malkovich Production). For several years Guy scored and served as music supervisor and editor for the highly successful NBC series, B. Smith With Style which is now [2006] in its eighth season. Guy’s library of music continues to be heard in the new episodes of B. Smith With Style, NBC’s series Famous Homes and Hideaways, A&E’s series, Makeover Mamas as well as NBC Sports.
For the past five years, Guy has been scoring approximately fifty one-hour and two-hour prime-time TV shows a year that air on A&E, Biography, History and Discovery Channel as well as their themes, bumpers, and promos. Guy also scores all of the trailers for Movietickets.com that can be heard in literally every movie theatre across the country.
Guy’s expertise in current music trends has been well recognized in the recording and the academic community where he is an adjunct professor of modern music at UCLA.
