The youngest daughter of professional musicians, Thea Renee Cole knew at an early age that she would spend her life singing. Called "the best pop singer in Seattle" by some industry professionals, her career in the music business has spanned nearly thirty years.

Thea's career began in the resort area of Wisconsin Dells, Wisconsin, as a guitarist/vocalist in a duo with pianist/vocalist Michelle Young. She subsequently toured the United States with several pop/R&B bands from around the country, all the while developing her unique vocal style. Eventually settling in Seattle, Thea worked steadily in that city's club scene with some of the area's premier musicians.

Thea has performed as a soloist and background vocalist with R&B star Deniece Williams, Contemporary Christian artist Roby Duke, "Promise Keepers" artist Stephen Michael Newby, and rising Country Music star Michael Peterson. She has vast studio experience, having recorded jingles for radio stations from Little Rock to L.A., and has been featured as a soloist performing station logos for R&B legend Chaka Khan's Los Angeles-based "Slow Jammin'" radio show.

In Seattle, she has worked extensively with Bob Rivers and Spike O'Neill of KZOK, and has recorded for KING 5 television. She has been a guest vocalist of the San Francisco Giants and the Arizona Diamondbacks, and was invited to sing the national anthem for then-presidential candidate George W. Bush. Her sultry, soulful voice has been heard on Atlantic Records and HBO Television.
