Tomas has been working almost non-stop since 1991. Beginning as an actor and choreographer, Tomas traveled the US in touring productions as well as performed Off-Broadway and Off-Off Broadway.
In 1996, Tomas began Tomasian Ent! as a vehicle to promote his musical, theatrical and choreographed endeavors. He traveled the US doing shows in clubs, at colleges and for corporations and developed a reputation as a diverse and multi-faceted artist.
Musically, Tomas has been compared to Prince as he writes, produces, and performs all his own music. By combining powerful pop vocals with a story telling lyrical style all served over infectious dance floor grooves, Tomas' music moves your body as well as your mind.
In 2001, he released getUP!, his first full-length CD. This collection of socially conscious dance music was very well received. Tomas also embarked on a tour in support the project.
He returned in 2003 with getUP! Again The Remixes, a follow-up to his 2001 release. The project included remixes and original versions of songs previously released on getUP!, plus two new tracks.
In 2005, Tomas took some time to choreograph a very well received original off-off-Broadway musical in NYC, Eve: The Story of EveryWoman (LMNO Theatre Co.). He also produced an instrumental project under the name Vie Sans Les Fleur entitled, Emagine: A World Without Flowers (released Feb 2006).
In 2006, he returned to off-off Broadway himself with his one man show, Pages from the Journal. In addition to this, he also filmed two movies, the feature length, Loose Ends and the short, Always Keep.
In Mar 2007, te! Music/Tomasian Ent! released Rhythm for the Runway which features the single, No Interest, by Tomas which did well on internet and special interest radio programs.
Tomas is currently promoting his new single, "Day We Lost Our Love" from his soon to be released CD, Well...There It Is!.
He is accepting performance engagements while he works to finish his new CD expected to be released summer in 2008.
The following videos are of Tomas in CHaiNS, an original one man show which premiered at Grand Valley state University in Allendale, MI.
This original work was presented on Oct 9, 2008 as part of the LGBT Student groups National Coming Out Day Celebration.

Tomas returns to GVSU to Debunk the Standard (10/30/08) [View | Hide]
New York, NY — DATE \@ "MMMM d, yyyy" October 30, 2008:On November 6, 2008 Tomas Bell, president and founder of Tomasian Entertainment LLC, an internet based entertainment company, located on the web at www.tomasianent.com will return to Grand Valley State University (GVSU) located in Allendale, MI to present, “Debunking the Double Standard”.
This will mark the third time this year that Tomas has been invited by GVSU community to present. This first time Tomas presented at GVSU was in February of 2008. He presented the wildly popular and well received “Hip Hop and Homophobia” presentation. The second time was less than a month ago when Tomas performed an original one man show, “CHaiNS”. This performance was created at the request of GVSU’s LGBT student organization and was very well received.
This time, Tomas hopes to once again provide a thought provoking presentation with “Debunking the Double Standard”. This presentation focuses on the standards that may be applied to one group but not to another. And, how we buy into those standards and help to perpetuate racism, sexism, homophobia, classism, and the like - sometimes without realization.
States Tomas, “I always enjoy my visits to Grand Valley, even with lake effect wind, rain and snow. I hope this presentation will help the GVSU community to understand and appreciate the world around them even more as my travels to various places like GVSU have helped me to grow. This event will take place two days after Election Day, so I’m sure it will be fun.”
