Residing in Belgium, Tom Theuns is a folksinger and fingerstyle guitar player who founded bands like Aurelia, Ambrozijn, Think Of One, Olla Vogala,...with which he has received numerous prizes and was hailed many times by the press; "Ambrozijn is definitely one of the best folkbands in Europe" (Folkroots). Influenced by worldwide traditional music, he's been composing and performing his songs for the past 30 years, earning him a special place within the Belgian acoustic field.
His very distinct fingerpicking guitar style is derived from the DADGAD tuning which he has taken beyond its diatonic limits. His vocals alternate seamless between a mongolian throat singer, Tom Waits, Leonard Cohen and renaissance contra tenor . Besides that he studied several months the sitar in India with Batuk Nash Mishrab . Other instruments include mandolin, banjo (tenor and 5-string), mandocello, and piano. He recorded albums with many artists such as Gabriel Yacoub, Laïs, Vera Coomans, Eva Deroovere, Neeka,...
In 2021 he received with Aurélie The Flemish Folk Award for best live act and in 2023 for best album , Chansons pour les oiseaux qui ne savent pas voler, with Wouter Vandenabeele.
Currently playing with Aurélie Dorzée, Laïs , Vandenabeele, David Bovée, ..he continues his search for challenges and renewal.
