Trent Thomason

Trent Thomason (born February 4, 1972 in Long Beach, California) is a Christian keyboardist, vocalist and songwriter.
Thomason grew up in Long Beach, California and graduated from Chapman University where he received his Bachelor of Music in Music Therapy degree in 1999. Thomason began playing keyboards/singing professionally at the age of 18 when his grandfather, Jimmy Thomason, began sneaking him into clubs in California to play with his western swing band. When he graduated from Chapman, he began working as a Registered Music Therapist while in the process of moving to Australia. It was then, six months after graduating that he got the call to audition for the Christian rock band Petra in Nashville, TN. He got the part and briefly participated in their 2000 Grammy-winning album Double Take. While touring with the band, it quickly became apparent that Petra did not have enough live dates for Thomason to justify full-time involvement. He decided to focus on his own projects and informed the band he would be leaving shortly thereafter. In 2002 he released his debut solo project titled Hold Out Your Hands and followed it up in 2004 with his second album entitled TEN. He has provided keyboards and vocals for various recording projects.
Thomason currently resides in the southeast suburbs of Melbourne, Australia. Thomason remains active as a session keyboardist / vocalist.
