Carlos Thomas


Carlos Thomas
was born in a small town called Sockis, NY. Drummer, percussionist, music producer, dancer. He first started playing music in church – and constantly finds himself banging on trash, more than his own instruments. Then came Stomp. “From 199***** I’m still here and love it!” Thanks to God, mom, Bill, Robyn and my close friends.

JOSEPH RUSSOMANO




JOSEPH RUSSOMANO
is a self-taught drummer and pianist and has never stopped practicing in hopes to one day write this bio. Since seeing the HBO special in 1998, it has been his ultimate dream to perform in STOMP. Thank you to his family, especially Mom, Dad, Mark, Chrissy and Michael for their unconditional support. Also thanks to his fiancee the Hot Mama, and great friends God of Karzistan, Jew, Cuban, Tiny, and Hamburger. Every show is for Pop-Pop…He knows why.

JASON MILLS


JASON MILLS
was born and raised in Loudoun County, Virginia, and moved to New York City in 1994 at the age of 22 to pursue a career in the arts. Initially working for clothing designer Nicole Miller as a graphic artist, he was hired in 1995 to perform in the original touring company of STOMP. Over the next four years work with the show included a 1996 Oscars performance, an appearance in the STOMP IMAX film Pulse: A STOMP Odyssey, and global touring. After a six-year hiatus from the show he is once again a part of the New York cast. Jason is a multi-instrumentalist, a producer, a composer, and a bandleader. He performs regularly with his six-piece soul band BEETROOT, whose debut album 13 was nominated for Album of the Year by the Independent Music Awards in 2005.
