ABOUT

CJ Thomas is a composer and producer of original instrumental music and music for media. He grew up in the small western town of Carson City, NV, surrounded by sagebrush and the Sierra Nevada Mountains. Driven by aspirations of becoming a rockstar, CJ moved to San Diego, California, where he currently resides.

Today, he has largely traded his loud distorted guitars for a piano and an addiction to analog synthesizers. Taking inspiration from the worlds of neo-classical, jazz, classical, heavy metal, and film scores CJ Thomas focuses on creating emotive instrumental works that serve as a background for daily life. 

As a composer, CJ uses music to enhance the story and evoke emotional responses in films, commercials, documentaries, and other media. In addition to music composition, he is a commercial filmmaker, leading branded content productions as a producer, director, and owner of Wondertree Media. His unique perspective as a director and producer informs his approach to scoring projects, always prioritizing the story.

CJ also releases his own original works, including "Fractures" (2023), featuring a string quartet and ambient electronic elements, and the solo piano album "Rebuilding" (2022).
