Vocalist Christian John Thomas Reveals the Tragic Real Life Event That

Inspired His Debut Song and Music Video "Lost in the Waves"

Cleveland, OH, November 10, 2020 --(PR.com)-- Christian John Thomas’ debut song and music video,
"Lost in the Waves" (written and composed by Kooman and Diamond) were released worldwide on
November 10, 2020. His song was inspired by the tragic true story of a father who gave his life saving his
young son from a deadly ocean riptide.

Christian shared, “I discovered this song while studying musical theater in college, but it didn’t really
resonate with me until I left school. I was asked by my professor to leave the university - surprisingly
enough, because she claimed I wasn’t a good fit for the program. Despite my talent, I didn’t fit the
program’s mold. Their rejection put me in a dark place mentally and led to severe depression. I held a lot
of resentment in my heart. It took me a while, but I eventually had a change of mindset, and I began to
look at my life in a new light. I started to become more thankful and appreciative of the life I have.”

He continued, “A few months after leaving college, I began to work on this song with a close friend. I felt
so drawn and connected to the song, and I wanted to share it with the world. In the song, the father makes
the greatest sacrifice of all, giving his life to save his son. I felt this was such a relevant topic in my own
life. A month later, I was in the studio recording the song for my LP.”

Christian then explained how his music video for the debut single came together. “Two young
producer/directors from LA (Ethan Sullivan & Daniel Sullivan) heard the song before it was even mixed
and they loved it right away. They reached out and said they wanted to film the official music video for
me. They came to Cleveland and filmed and edited it over the course of several weeks. The final music
video turned out to be absolutely beautiful.”

Christian added, “While working with the Sullivan brothers on the music video, our two families came
together and developed an idea for a brand new streaming network called Fair Dinkum TV, which
focuses on positivity. It wasn’t long before the idea became a reality. Some of the country’s top network
television producers joined forces with us and now we’re planning on launching the first wholesome,
family-friendly streaming television network (including our own original shows) in fall 2021. I’ll be
drawing upon my ten years of film, stage, and television experience to help produce all of the live stage
recording originals on the network, ranging from Broadway productions and concerts, to stand up
comedy. Looking back, I’m incredibly glad I didn’t give up and that I fought through my debilitating
depression. When I was at the darkest point in my life, I never thought that things could turn around for
me. I’m thankful for my family and friends who helped me to understand that I’m in control of my life,
my choices, and the realization of my dreams. I’ve now come to know that while there may be low points
along the way, they’re only temporary.”
