'''Thomas Ring Petersen''' (born 17 February 1980), better known as '''Thomas Ring''' or simply as '''Thomas''', is a Danish singer who rose to fame as the winner of the third [Danish series](/source/X_Factor_(Denmark)) of ''[The X Factor](/source/The_X_Factor)''.
Thomas started as [table tennis](/source/table_tennis) player reaching the national level by the age of 17. When he turned 18, he got a guitar for birthday and Christmas present from his parents, Berit and Ib. He soon started writing lyrics and music leaving table tennis. He graduated from Falkonergårdens Gymnasium[[http://www.dr.dk/DR1/xfactor/talenterne/2010/Thomas.htm DR: X Factor official biography page]] and is a qualified teacher at Københavns Dag- og Aftenseminarium (KDAS).
In 2017, Thomas competed in [Dansk Melodi Grand Prix 2017](/source/Denmark_in_the_Eurovision_Song_Contest_2017) with the song, "Vesterbro", but he did not advance to the superfinal.
