Bringin' it Backwards Interview with Hudson Thames

We had the pleasure of interviewing Hudson Thames over Zoom video!
Prolific songwriter, performer, and actor Hudson Thames has shared his soul-soothing debut album BAMBINO, available to stream now on all DSPs worldwide via Loaded Dice Entertainment. The album is laced with moody pop anthems, deeply emotional ballads, and genuinely timeless songwriting, paying homage to icons like Elton John, Billy Joel, and Paul McCartney. It features standout tracks “Wrong,” “Cold Summer,” “Weight” (feat. Kelsey Karter) and “Man of the World,” which features Jamie Cullum and was produced by Stephan Moccio (The Weeknd, Miley Cyrus).
“BAMBINO is an Italian term of endearment that means ‘Baby’ or ‘Little One.’ My dad remarried when I was twelve to a big Sicilian clan and my family grew by about a thousand people overnight,” says Thames. “As I floated through family functions and dinner parties, the term Bambino was assigned to me and I always felt that it was really sweet. This album is so coming of age for me. It’s been whittled down over the last two years to highlight the most important moments of growth and learning during the most challenging but important time in my life. As I figure out my place in the world as a man, it feels like the right time to relinquish the title of ‘Bambino’ and give it MY baby; This body of work.”
A product of a honkey-tonk piano player father, Rat Pack Vegas performers, and a crew of skate rats from The San Fernando Valley, Hudson’s pop sensibility has old school roots. Hudson first saw radio success with his first single, “How I Want Ya” feat. Hailee Steinfeld, and “Drive it Like You Stole it,” which led to performances on The Today Show, The Radio Disney Music Awards, as well as dozens of featured TV and film placements.
When Hudson isn’t busy playing music, he can be found sharing his talents on-screen. Bursting onto the stage at only 13 years old, Hudson’s acting career began with roles in Tony Award-winner Jason Robert Browns’ 13 the Musical alongside Ariana Grande, Distracted with Rita Wilson, and Falsetto’s with Jason Alexander. He also has landed roles on acclaimed shows like The Secret Life of the American Teenager and Mad Men, to name a few. Currently, Thames is starring in Disney+’s new animated Spider-Man series, Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man, as Peter Parker's voice.
