He is known for being the vocalist of power metal band Angus McSix and former vocalist of power metal band Gloryhammer from 2011 to 2021, playing the roles of "Angus McFife, Prince of the Land of Fife" and his descendant "Angus McFife XIII" in the band's internal story.
Biography
Born in Zollikofen, Bern, Winkler started his music career in 2009 after finishing his studies at the University of Bern as Master of Law by joining Swiss heavy metal bands Emerald and T-Rage.
Winkler has also lent his voice to Chinese power metal band Barque of Dante for their single "Way of Your Life" in 2011 and stated he would contribute vocals for their second studio album "Lasting Forever".
In 2010, he uploaded a video to YouTube of himself auditioning for the British power metal band DragonForce. He was later discovered by Christopher Bowes, vocalist of the Scottish-based pirate metal band Alestorm, and was offered to join Gloryhammer. He initially declined but joined sometime later after several more offers. He was a member of the band from 2012 to 2021, and recorded three full-length albums with them.
On 22 August 2021, Gloryhammer announced that Thomas Winkler was no longer a member of the band. Thomas later addressed the situation, citing the band's reasons for his departure as disagreements on business and organizational matters.
