What Are Music Portraits?

Hi, I’m John Albert Thomas. As a trauma-informed piano composer and certified life coach, I create sacred spaces for healing and transformation through music. I believe every story deserves to be heard and held. When words fall short, Music Portraits offer a unique way to connect your story to music, bringing comfort, clarity, and peace. My album, Music Portraits—released in November 2020, featuring the award-winning track ‘Sweet Resilience’—showcases eleven original pieces inspired by real people’s stories.

Music Portraits are custom solo piano compositions (typically 3–5 minutes) crafted during a 60-minute session, inspired by your story. Optionally, upgrade to the Legacy Experience for a 12-week process of composing, professional recording and distribution to all major online streaming platforms, PLUS a certificate verifying you as the source of inspiration—a lasting tribute to honor, heal, or inspire.
