A first little blog. Starting out with a massive hangover. If and when you are attending a Thai party you will quickly find out what I am talking about. It's December 13 (not a Friday) and Christmas seem to be sprinting towards us. I remember way back then when December came around, it seemed like forever before Christmas came about. Straying, stay on point… Not many Christmas trees around. But plenty of everything else. 31 degrees and humid. No chimneys over here so Santa will have a hard time. A year has almost gone by and it has been intensive. 11 single releases out and the album “Many Waters. Memoirs of a Wondering Traveler” will release on January 9th, 2026. Got a good review on “Many Waters” the main song on the album. https://www.thomathyentertainment.com/2025/10/hogleone-unveils-many-waters-ahead-of.html
It's been a long 2 year process between writing the music, recording it, producing and mixing it and mastering it. Then entered the marketing process. I got a British distributor company called RoutNote which turned out to be a disaster. They didn't do a good job with distributing and all of a sudden they took down all the music without forewarning. They only had support through email which usually took 2-3 weeks before they responded, if they responded at all, so all of a sudden I had to find a new and this time reliable distributor. Did some searching and homework and settled for a distributor named “TooLost”. CLICK LINK ABOVE !
TooLost is a digital music distribution company headquartered in New York City, operating globally to get music onto 450+ platforms in over 200 countries, focusing on independent artists with free and premium distribution options, rather than a physical store location. So far I am very pleased with the performance and hoping it will stay that way.For next year I am planning to release some older favorite cover songs. I will try to make some new variations of the songs and will attempt to play all instruments by myself as was done on the new album. Think it will be fun in a nostalgia kind of way… We'll see where it goes. Enough for now and I'll leave you now with a link to one of my old favorite songs; A Whiter Shade of Pale. Procul Harem. A newer version with Santana and Steve Winwood. Enjoy !
