Mysterious Walks

Saint Thomas is Thomas Hansen, born in Oslo, Norway in 1976, where he worked as a mailman. He quit his job to focus on his musical career, and though he only worked at the post service for less than two years over three different periods, the mailman-turned-musician label has followed him around ever since. After two periods of living in Berlin, Germany, he currently recides in Oslo. In his youth, Thomas played football for Oslo-team Skeid's junior team and for their reserve team in Norwegian third division, until he quit in 1997. At that time he was listening to Will Olham and Elliott Smith, who at the time were rather unknown artists in Norway, and, being inspired by them, in December the same year he bought a semi-acoustic guitar and a four-track recorder to start making his own music.
