Thomas Robinson

Hi, I am originally from Lafayette, Louisiana, and now reside in Keller, TX. I am a home studio composer and producer. I've always loved music. On occasion my two wonderful kids provide me assistance on guitar, drums, vocals and keyboard. They are also my first line of critics.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
In the last several years my kids have involved themselves with music through their schools and they actually sparked my interest in writing music. So for the last several years I've written an hour here and an hour there and always just for the love of it. I have invested hobby time to learn SONAR and Waves Gold. Also, I have just added EastWest's Complete Composers Collection; I am anxious to convert my songs to its virtual instruments and sample libraries.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
Nope, in the distanct past I was a trombonist and did perform live solo and in ensemble. I had the great, personal experience to perform under the direction of the great Mr. Zerangue at Alleman and at age 12 toured with the "Purple Stage Band". Later I was part of the Lafayette High School band under the great John Ray Kenney and performed for Pope John Paul II at the Vatican.
