Thomas Fratti

 

Guitar

France

 

Born in France in 1984 in Marseille, Thomas began playing guitar at the age of 14. The instrumental music and the shredders school of Mike Varney will be his first sources of learning the instrument. Richie Kotzen and Nuno Bettencourt will then become his major influences. He quickly opened up to all styles thanks to the musicians he has been professionally performing for 15 years now.

He forged a solid experience of the scene and a reputation as an "all terrain" musician thanks to his formations ranging from pop to soul and of course rock.

In 2014 he founded the Tribute Van Halen ERUPTION and released in September 2019 his first solo EP "5:2", with the prestigious Derek Sherinian on keyboards (ex-DREAM THEATER, PLANETX, SONS OF APPOLLO...).

It will appear on the 2nd edition of the guitarist's compilation UNITED GUITARS in 2020.

He also participates in the pedagogical columns of the magazine GUITAREXTREME.

A guitar teacher in the Marseille region, he is also solicited for Masters Classes and other clinics.
