Thomas Shorthouse is a London-based composer, artist, and producer hailing from West Yorkshire. Often taking inspiration from both contemporary and 20th century art, as well as the internet culture he grew up with, his music is characterised by its ability to be both playful and feverish, yet sombre and obscure.

A scholar at the Royal College of Music, and student of Dr Deirdre Gribbin and Prof. Simon Holt, Thomas’ undergraduate studies has thus far led him to collaborations with emerging artists including Patricia Gomez, Christiana Achim, The Vox Quartet, Luca Imperiale, Ozgur Kaya, Maria Filippova, and Sophie Stevenson, as well as workshops and premiers with established ensembles including the Fidelio Trio, Alkyona Quartet, Ex Corde, RCM String Orchestra, and RCM Symphony Orchestra.

Thomas is grateful to be an Ian Evans Lombe Scholar at the RCM.
