After seeing Ritchie Blackmore playing live with Deep Purple some 15 years ago, he bought a Fender Stratocaster and a small Marshall amp and decided to follow his idol's footsteps. After learning Deep Purple riffs and playing in different local bands, he started his solo project in 2002. Blackmore's Night bassplayer Bob Curiano was asked to join the project after a Blackmore's Night concert in Rothenburg in 2003. After listening to some of Thomas' songs Bob was excited and agreed to play bass and coproduce The Rainstorm Project. Bob also supplied some guitar, keyboards and backing vocals. Henning Schwarzhoff, a rock voice from Cologne, did the vocals for the harder songs. While Thomas persuaded his sister Sabrina to sing the ballads on his album. A third singer, Andreas Edel, sings on the bonustrack. Keyboards are done by Tobias Schadler and Heiko Lindenthal is behind the drumkit.
