Bio


Bosley is the publishing name of American singer, songwriter and producer Thomas Humphrey Mayer jr (aka Thomas Humphrey). Bosley has appeared on bills alongside Sharon Jones and the Dapkings, Galactic, Easy Star All-Stars, Dr. Dog, and many other contemporary rock/soul acts. His music has been featured in series on HBO, Netflix, MTV, Comedy Central, Showtime, in several feature films and commercial syncs including spots with Nintendo, Instacart and Fashion Icon Diane Von Fürstenburg.

With the release of his debut album Honey Pig in 2011, Bosley was born. Honey Pig showcased Mayer’s talent for pop songwriting and a stylistic range from early James Brown to Tom Waits-esque jazz ballads, all channeled through Mayer’s dynamic and powerful voice. The song ‘Just Like You’ went viral after it appeared on Comedy Central’s hit show Workaholics gaining Bosley a host of new fans. The music and band were gaining popularity, but behind the scene things for Mayer were on a personal decline. 

In 2012, Thomas came clean about a decade-long struggle with Alcohol and drug addiction. After taking time off to seek treatment and recovery. Seeing a second chance for a life beyond the grip of addiction, Mayer embraced sobriety and dedicated himself back to his music career. He began writing and performing again resulting in the raucous follow up album, The Dirty Dogs Radio Show and later the retro leaning Unreal Fire. The latter displayed an impressive knack for synthesising danceable, melodic pop with heartfelt nostalgia. 

In 2017 Bosley took a break to travel and began writing a new album. Ultimately Mayer resettled in Berlin where he weathered the Covid 19 pandemic completing Bosley’s fourth studio album, Waves. Waves is a stylistic shift for Bosley. The album combines mellow, lyrically focused songs blended between sound collages of field recordings and travelogues taken over more than a year of journeys from America, Eastern Europe to North Africa. Waves is scheduled for release in May 2023 with Fogwood Records.
