Born in London in 1996, Thomas divides his time between São Paulo and Paris, two cities with contrasting energies that shape his rhythm and sensitivity. His artistic path began with music in 2010—years spent creating, composing, and performing in various bands before giving birth to his current project, Percheye (@percheye_music), and a solo journey soon to unfold. Open to new collaborations, Thomas continues to explore sound as a way to tell stories, to feel, and to connect.
In 2015, photography entered his life as a natural extension of this musical dialogue. What began as a desire to capture his travels quickly became another language—a visual echo of what sound could not say. For Thomas, music and photography are twin expressions of the same pulse, two arts that breathe and communicate in harmony.
His work oscillates between film and digital, between intimate portraits and contemplative landscapes. Through his lens, he explores the links between travel and human experience—friendship, love, encounters, silences, the trials of everyday life. His gaze, both gentle and melancholic, invites us to slow down, to listen, to rediscover the present moment.
Halfway between a visual diary and a travel journal, his universe weaves sound and image with sincerity and emotion—an ongoing conversation between rhythm and light.
