Thomas chose the name Bright Light Bright Light from a quote spoken by the character Gizmo in the 1984 movie Gremlins. Thomas released "Love Part II", his first single under the name Bright Light Bright Light, in 2010 on the Popjustice Hi-Fi label. 2010-present : Bright Light Bright Light Thomas stated Boom Bip's production on the song "A New Word to Say" helped him find "my sound". In 2009 he sent demo tracks to American producer Boom Bip, resulting in Thomas being invited to Los Angeles for two weeks to collaborate on tracks. In London he set up a studio at home, and spent rush hours busking busy London tube stations. He left Wales to take a place reading English literature and creative writing at Warwick University, then made the move to London.
Thomas later stated his dalliance with folk was due to his lack of knowledge with production techniques, and that he was always drawn to house and synthpop. His first forays into music were more folk-based, led by acoustic guitar with, due to a lack of equipment, minimal beats around it.
Thomas grew up in a small village near Neath, Wales, and learned several instruments as a child, including piano.
