She became interested in music as a result of her father’s record collection, which included work by Bob Dylan, Joni Mitchell, Elvis Costello, and Tom Waits among others.
Thea recorded her debut album aged just 17 and then entered a spell of productivity which, in the four and a half years from January 1999 to August 2003, saw her record and release six albums including four “official” releases and two cult albums which were only intended for internet release but which have long since been available in the shops. In 2001, with the release of Rules For Jokers, she hit some kind of national nerve and garnered some attendant airplay but it wasn’t until 2003’s Avalanche that Thea finally began to make significant waves. Avalanche became Radio 2’s Album Of The Week and spawned two hit singles including her first certifiable Top 40 hit Juliet. Thea has gathered countless plaudits over the years - “the best British singer songwriter of the last ten years - and then some” (Uncut), “so good its scary” (Mojo), and “Gilmore is already in a league of her own” (Q) immediately spring to mind - but Avalanche was truly a quantum leap forward and “a breakthrough record” (Times) to boot. And you can bet that Thea remains the only artiste to have her under-$50 video shown on Top Of The Pops.
