Matthew Ryan Thomas

Establishing himself as a devout student of pop, Matthew Ryan Thomas’s commitment to dizzying showmanship and the suspension of one’s disbelief is what makes the invitation to his ‘wee world’ all the more enticing. BBC Radio Ulster described him as “a slice of undiscovered pop perfection.” The Irish pop angel’s knack for songcraft and camp performance nods to his religious upbringing and to navigating queerness in the present day. These struggles do not call for sympathy but disarm the audience into a euphoric experience that is almost, yes, almost, divine. For fans of Robyn, Troye Sivan and Steps .
