Kim Thomas is Yahaloma and Yahaloma believes in using talent to serve a higher purpose. Entertainment is certainly its own reward but here is an artist that finds profound reasons to entertain. Here is passion for not only music but also its place in the heavens – and for YHWH. Can’t Live Without ... ---- Contemporary Hebrew Gospel and inspirational artist Yahaloma embraces music as a need in life, something necessary for existence. For that reason, it is the perfect medium, especially with its unique communicative abilities, for Yahaloma to honor YHWH and spirituality. “I can’t live without singing and writing. It is in my blood! I was created with this in my system, and it makes me who I am. I feel that I am doing what I was created to do when I do music.” For Yahaloma, music is a YHWH-given talent and the proper respects must be made – all while creating top notch music for the 21st century believer. Prayerful Potency ------- People don’t always think of music as praying. But praying is communication with YHWH and music is the great communicator – and it gets the emotions involved. “I always say, ’He who sings, prays twice!’” ... I just love what I do.” It’s a simple fact. Yahaloma loves music and YHWH and pours 100% into both. Inspiration --------- There’s a deep implication for the idea of musical inspiration when spiritually-oriented music is involved. “I am inspired by Abba, Yahweh.” Though of course there are connecting influences in the world’s realm. “I have many influences, but the biggest is family. They give me the support that has kept me going, even when we couldn’t see where we were headed.” Work -------- Yahaloma has earned best song of the year acclaim from Eagle Productions for “Not My Will” and made it to the second round of the International Songwriting competition as well as top 1500 of the Billboard World Songwriting Contest of 2007.
