    About Me

    My name is Jack Thomas. I'm a musician, audio engineer, music producer, and motivational speaker. I've been creating and recording music for over 10 years. I've performed in numerous bands, produced albums for other local bands as well as my own, and have been a session musician for countless music recording projects.

     

    I've built an online following of over 100,000 people through my videos of drumming and motivation with millions of views. I strive to use my reach to spread positivity, motivation, and inspiration.

     

    I was an in-house Audio Engineer & Studio Specialist for Musora Media (Drumeo, Pianote, Guitareo & Singeo.) During my time there, I built an audio quality standard that created a highly sought-after sound for instruments and videos that gained millions of views and membership signups.

    Workplace Accident

    On September 4th, 2015, my right arm was torn off at the elbow by a conveyor belt at the recycling plant I was working at. I was in the hospital for only 6 days before being transferred to GF Strong Physical Rehabilitation Centre to regain my strength and relearn how to live.

     

    After staying there for just under a month, I was able to go back to school and begin my life again. Despite it being a painful and mentally exhausting first few months learning the most basic tasks, I eventually got back to doing what I loved most - playing music.

    I attended Nimbus School of Recording and Media for numerous diploma programs in sound and music production. I completed the Advanced Studio Production Diploma program, the Post & Game Audio Production Post Diploma program, the Advanced Audio Engineering Post Diploma program, as well as the Live Sound Mixing & Recording Post Diploma program.

     

    In September 2018, I was awarded the Musicounts JUNO's Excellence In Audio Engineering award for my work at Nimbus. I was given a grant as well as a week-long music industry retreat in Toronto.

    Public Speaking

    Aside from music, I work as a motivational speaker. My purpose of speaking is to provide a positive influence and encourage others to help them find the motivation to reach their goals, as well as speaking on the importance of work safety, knowing your rights in the workplace, and being able to listen to your gut when something at work seems unsafe.

     

    I want to help others who struggle with mental health issues or may have overcome trauma of their own. I want to show what can be possible no matter what happens to you.
