Biography

A “New Zealand art-r&b aesthete," (The Fader) THOMSTON has honed an intriguing sound of his own with inspiration from Frank Ocean and James Blake and a razor-sharp pen reminiscent of Taylor Swift and Lorde. 
 In 2018, his anthemic single The Heights soared to #1 on the Hot NZ Chart leading to an MTV EMA nomination for Best New Zealand Artist, joining the ranks of Lorde, Benee, Kimbra and more. The lyrics “so if I fall, it'll be cause I jumped and if I jump it'll be because I'm reaching the heights," are symbolic of his steady rise to recognition. 
 Since he emerged with his debut record Topograph as a teenager, New Zealand's best kept secret has amassed over 150 million streams worldwide, toured in support of BROODS and Billie Eilish, and received acclaim from tastemakers such The Fader, Noisey, NYLON, Pigeons & Planes and COMPLEX among others. 
 Thomston's sophomore album Crushed was released in 2022, featuring the track April that reached #13 on New Zealand’s Airplay charts, and Magnolia (with Zeph) with rising alt star Zeph. The record is a dazzling and expansive pop-leaning exploration of young love, and lead to publications praising Thomston’s “mastery of sonic storytelling” (Early Rising) along with his “warm, gentle voice which has matured beyond his years” and “old soul songwriting with immense sincerity” (Sniffers) 
 New music is set to be released in 2023.
