IAN THOMAS SIGNED, AS A PROFESSIONAL MODEL - Imagine the surprise reading that in a press release from the Wilhelmina modeling agency, reporting having “discovered” the musician and actor at the Coachella Festival this year. 

It turns out this Ian Thomas is an 18 year-old Euro pop sensation who recently moved to LA, signed with Universal, and released “Cheers” featuring Tyga. 

Our Ian, meantime, has just closed an Indiegogo campaign to fund an orchestral album. According to his website, the fundraiser was a success and the ensuing publicity has attracted a record company to come on board and make up the difference between what was raised and needed. Thomas is coy about which label, at least for now.
