Tomas found his passion for music in his fathers old guitar in Portugal, where his dad had moved as a busker. After a long stint in theatre school back home in The Hague, ferdinant. slowly found his voice and began to write ditties and small ideas for songs. Traveling around the world for modeling jobs, often being alone in a cold and superficial surrounding, he found solace in his songwriting.

​

With a love for classical and cinematic music, the melodramatic soul of young ferdinant. emerged and he finally made a move to Berlin to leave the modeling and acting world and put all into his music. Berlin is very different from his humble, warming seaside home in the Netherlands, being grey and sometimes isolated, so whilst finding his feet and using his talent, his debut EP was created.

Already while producing this beautiful, folky and subtly epic debut EP in the Famous Gold Watch Studios, Tomas set foot in the Berlin music scene and started writing with some of the top songwriters in town like Graham Candy (Alle Farben, Parov Stellar…), Eric Alcock (P!nk, Eminem, Celine Dion…), Daniel Schaub (Casper, Michael Patrick Kelly, Clueso, Lena…) and many more.
