Born in the west of France in La Roche-sur-Yon, Thomas Naszalyi first discovered percussion, and then piano, organ, viola, and musical composition. By the age of 14, he had reached the decision that music would be his profession, and by age of 17, the symphonic orchestra of the Conservatory of La Roche-sur-Yon performed a "Prelude in A" that Thomas had written for them on the national stage of the "Manège." His work is influenced by Richard Wagner, John Barry, James Horner, Basil Poledouris, and many other exceptional composers.
