Thomas Veli is a Seattle-based pop, rap, and R&B artist, songwriter, and producer creating cinematic, emotionally charged music with melody, ambition, and late-night energy at its core. A first-generation American of Vietnamese and Chinese descent, he blends atmospheric production, melodic rap, sharp hooks, and reflective songwriting into a sound that feels both modern and deeply personal.

Drawing inspiration from artists like Travis Scott, Drake, Justin Bieber, The Weeknd, and Charli XCX, Thomas Veli creates music that lives between confidence and vulnerability, popstar ambition and real-life emotion. His growing catalog includes songs such as “Ham Choi,” “Locked In,” “Chop Chop,” “Move Quicker,” “Ready For The Weekend,” and “Catch A Vibe,” as he builds toward the release of his debut EP.

As a live performer, Thomas Veli has continued to build momentum through appearances at Fremont Abbey Arts Center, Tet in Seattle at Seattle Center Armory, Little Saigon Creative, and McMenamins Elks Temple, where he opened for Rocky Sandoval. With a polished stage presence, cinematic identity, and a sound built for both intimate venues and larger cultural stages, he is emerging as one of Seattle’s developing artists to watch.
