B. J. Thomas owns one of the most distinctive voices in American pop music – a reassuringly masculine timbre conveyed with a smattering of unique embellishments that represent a distillation of the most influential genres in pop culture. Nothing about the identifiable sound of B.J. THOMAS' voice has changed, but there's a re-energized commitment behind it. Recognizing the continued loyalty of his fans, B.J. has established his own label, B.J. Thomas Music, which debuts with the release of LOVE TO BURN, his first new studio album in seven years.

Billy Joe Thomas was born August 7th, 1942 at his Grandmother's home in Hugo, Oklahoma. His parents, Vernon and Geneva Thomas, had three children, Jerry, Billy Joe and Judy.

After being convinced by his older brother Jerry to audition for a local band, "The Triumphs", Lamar Consolidated High School junior B.J. Thomas became the groups' lead singer. The band was a local success with songs such as "The Lazy Man" and "I Got A Feeling". Scepter Records nationally released their version of the Hank Williams tune, "I'm So Lonesome, I Could Cry". Young Billy Joe Thomas became one of Scepter Records most successful solo artists.

B.J. still maintains a busy touring and appearance schedule. He performs across the United States, as well as countries such as Canada, Brazil, Australia.
