"Unclassifiable and extraordinarily equipped, a travel through disparate musics, Thollem McDonas , redefines the concept of performance in solo pianoforte". - All About Jazz, Italia
"It's my intention to make music that stimulates the mind and the body, that's intellectual and sexy and meditative and ferocious and poetic and athletic and revolutionary and spiritual and political and humorus and loving and that will shake people awake, starting with me first".
[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Thollem Mcdonas, pianist/vocalist/composer/improviser was born Feb. 23, 1967 in the San Francisco Bay Area of Irish and Cherokee descent.
He is presently living in Prague. He began his musical training as a young child rigorously studying the keyboard repertoire of European composers from the renaissance to the 20th century. After graduating with degrees in
both piano performance and composition he chose to become homeless for several years, opting to wander and live out of a backpack, rather than pursue a career as a concert pianist with a suit and tie. It is because of
these dichotomies and rich, wildly disparate experiences that his music is so dynamic and appeals to such a wide variety of audiences.[/FONT]
