Thomas’ debut album Credere is out now and contains self-penned songs such as lead-off track- ‘Credere’- a beautifully arranged song with haunting vocals and a soaring melody- a song so brilliant it could stand alongside those of any of the great master works. Other songs present on the album include his take on classics such as -‘Ave Maria’; ‘The Prayer’ and ‘You Raise Me Up’, and it marks the introduction of a major new voice in music. With his English charm, Italian style and world-class voice, Thomas Spencer-Wortley is destined for great recognition.
To date, Thomas has been described as ‘The English Josh Groban’, the ‘solo version of Il Divo’ and the UK’s answer to Andrea Bocelli but to those who know him, he’s just Thomas...
Thomas lives and works with his younger brother, composer & arranger, Oliver Spencer-Wortley. Between them they set out to create a sound, and one which is becoming clearly recognisable, where the excitement of the modern era meets the classics yet retaining all of the beauty and artistry of the original composition.
Thomas was born and raised in Derbyshire and then moved to study voice at Trinity College of Music, going on to gain a post graduate diploma and LRAM at the Royal Academy of Music. After working in music theatre it was evident that Thomas’ classical sound was individual, a real blend of the operatic world and the ‘West End’. This left Thomas with an apparent decision to make, although now it would appear an obvious step, he chose to combine the best of both and become a solo classical cross-over artist.
