Thomasina has been on Minnesota’s stages for the past 15 years cultivating her talents through mentorships and friendships with some of the Twin Cities most beloved artists. Through her hard work and commitment, Thomasina has earned a loyal following of both theatre and jazz enthusiasts. In 2004, Thomasina, in partnership, started Thomasina Productions in order to cultivate positive, quality work telling the untold stories and to create work for herself as well as other hugely talented local artists.
Recent productions includes: Lady Day at Emerson’s Bar & Grill and the 1st annual Valentine’s Day show called Hot Chocolate, the celebration of our love.
The Billie Holiday tribute CD entitled: If Only… Billie Unsung, was release in September 2004.
During the research process for Lady Day at Emerson’s Bar & Grill,” the realization of just how much Billie contributed to jazz – how much she lived through her songs and how her songs came to life because of her unique phrasing, voice and spirit inspired Thomasina to visualize Billie’s voice beyond her life.
Since the release, If Only…Billie Unsung by Thomasina has garnered international success and critical acclaim. “Quote” CD Baby. Locally, KBEM 88., KLBB 1400am have both championed this production from the inception with multiple interviews and generous airplay. Thomasina was recently invited to Atlanta, GA to record the theme song for T.V. Ones’ pilot project titled “Atlanta Smiles.”
Thomasina is back in the studio working on her 2nd project, “In My Own Voice” scheduled to be released in June of 2005. |
