Shawn Thomas is an "out and affirming" contemporary Christian performer and recording artist, who grew up as the son of a preacher in the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ). After a decade of pursuing his talents in many directions including songwriting, producing, musical theater, dance and choreography, choral direction, and voice instruction, Shawn followed the encouragement of others and incorporated his faith into his music. In 2003 Shawn released his first "spiritual" project, "Everything I Am, and began a completely unplanned journey into music ministry, introducing him to a way of worship through music he previously thought impossible. "I was afraid to sing religious music, because I didn't think I would be allowed to do the kind of music that I enjoy. I grew up being exposed only to traditional hymns and classically based music in church, so I didn't think of contemporary music as something that could be used in worship and praise." Shawn visits churches, groups, and events sharing the Grace message of Gods Love, through concerts, workshops, and spoken message.

Shawn Thomas received the 2008 Editors Choice Award from QNation.fm for the single,
You Are Here Lord, and he is a two time Pride in the Arts Awards (StoneWallSociety.com) recipient and seven time nominee. His 2003 CD/album, Everything I Am spun two number one singles and the album remained on the Top 20 for over 12 months on Pride Christian Music. His follow-up project in 2005 called Changed, received a nomination for Outstanding New Inspirational Recording from OutMusic.com. The 2006 release, Faith Unashamed listed on OutVoice.coms Top40 for over 23 months and in the Top10 for over a year! And, the video for the single What am I Gonna Do with You has been listed as the most viewed music video on TheQTube.
