Thomas Hansen (musician)

He became a musician after quitting his job as a mailman after hearing music from Elliott Smith and Will Oldham.

He formed a short-lived band called Emily Lang before attempting solo work.

Hansen's biggest break came shortly after Norway's Quart Festival in 1999, where he got signed to Racing Junior.

His first album, I'm Coming Home, was preceded by "The Cornerman EP," which was a summer chart success in Norway in 2001.

In August 2006, Saint Thomas released a new album, officially his sixth, There's Only One of Me on his own label, Cornerman Records.
