Shawn Thomas was born in the small town of Greencastle, Indiana during autumn season on November 2nd, under the zodiac sign Scorpio. His life as a teen living in the mid western part of the United States consist of his mother who was a professional singer, dancer, pianist and violinist. Shawn began taking vocal lessons in high school and trained as a vocal major later in college. Shawn resided in many states, which include Ohio, Oklahoma, Texas, Alabama, Tennessee and Kentucky. He now resides in Huntsville, Alabama. His first taste on stage was in fifth or sixth grade, in the musical “Babes In Toyland”, where he portrayed the character Jack. By age 19 he performed popular music as a solo performer. He graduated from Middle Tennessee State University majoring in Recording Industry Management and Music Industry. He also had several years of dance training at various schools and studios.
By his early twenties Shawn came to realization with himself and the world about him, he knew inside he was to weak and found strength in GOD. He realized we are not only made of Flesh and Blood but of Sprit and we live among this earth with man-made injustice. We travel in space and time, yet in our everyday business we close our eyes and allow injustice to continue in many aggressive forms. Shawn gifted by God uses his talents within the performing arts to full this void and to bring many communities together for a better tomorrow greater in excellence and higher in quality through understanding.
His album “Out In This World” appeared on the charts for over 9 months and peaked at number one twice. The single also hit number one, and “Glorify His Name” hit number 3. “Out In This World” hit number 7 for the Top 50 albums of 2000.

Shawn Thomas emerges not only as a competent performer and vocalist but also as a dynamic versatile entertainer. After the release of his departure CD, “Typical Male” in 1995, Shawn reluctantly began a personal journey for several years, which lead him to confront honesty by understanding the anger and confusion behind the darker sounds of “Typical Male”. With newfound peace and faith, he returned to the recording studio with songs not just of hope and praise — but filled with new energy and a feeling of purpose. Now proclaiming with pride, “OUT IN THIS WORLD”, Shawn Thomas releases his newest material. From the soulful runs and melodies of “I Will Be There” and “I Found a Place”, to the groove and rhythm of “One Day at a Time”, “When Love Isn’t Enough”, and of course the title track, “OUT IN THIS WORLD” demonstrates the intentional return of Shawn Thomas to the Pop/Dance style for which he is best known.
In 1999, Shawn created “Aaron’s Rainbow Project” to be his host organization for publishing, performing and production. In addition, it’s his hope this Project will grow to become a source of support and outreach for all walks of life and various charitable organizations.
