</p>
<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Biografie">Biografie</h2></div>
<p>Aufgewachsen ist Thomas Kühnis in <a href="Diepoldsau" title="Diepoldsau">Diepoldsau</a>,<sup id="cite_ref-tagblatt_2-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-tagblatt-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> später zog er nach <a href="Rebstein" title="Rebstein">Rebstein</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> In seiner Jugend war er schon in Bands aktiv, bei einem Frankreichaufenthalt 1999 entdeckte er dann sein Talent für die Gitarre und das Songschreiben und bereits ein Jahr später stellte er sein erstes Album <i>Back in France</i> mit eigenen Songs zusammen. Seinen damaligen Künstlernamen <i>Eastern Atlantic</i> änderte er später in <i>Shem Thomas</i>. In den folgenden Jahren tourte er als Musiker durch die Schweiz und war genreübergreifend als Livemusiker und in verschiedenen Projekten tätig. Es dauerte acht Jahre bis zu seinem zweiten Album <i>Zimmer 291</i>,<sup id="cite_ref-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> das allerdings nicht offiziell veröffentlicht wurde. Neben der Musik arbeitet Thomas Kühnis als <a href="Primarschule" title="Primarschule">Aushilfsprimarlehrer</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-5" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
</p><p>Erst in den 2010ern widmete sich Thomas wieder intensiver der Musik, trat vermehrt auf und nahm erfolgreich an einem regionalen Songwriter-Wettbewerb teil.<sup id="cite_ref-6" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-tagblatt_2-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-tagblatt-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Ausserdem begann er mit Planungen für ein drittes Album.
</p><p>Bereits 2003 hatte sich Shem Thomas bei der <a href="Castingshow" title="Castingshow">Castingshow</a> <a href="MusicStar" title="MusicStar">MusicStar</a> beworben und hätte teilnehmen können, nahm die Chance jedoch nicht wahr. Anfang 2014 nahm er dann an der zweiten Staffel von <a href="The_Voice_of_Switzerland" title="The Voice of Switzerland">The Voice of Switzerland</a> teil und war einer der 40 Kandidaten, die die <i>Blind Auditions</i> überstanden.
