Dallas native born and raised, Topasana Sansom, better known as “Top”, has been entertaining primarily the Dallas Fort Worth metro-plex for the past 15 years. A self-taught vocal sensation, Top has developed a sound unlike any other. His range spans well over three octaves and the strength and stamina of his remarkable voice allow him to sing consistently night after night without fail. Top first put his mark on the Dallas music scene in 1984 when he became the lead singer for the well-known band Dallas Brass & Electric (“DB& E”). After several successful years with them he eventually moved on to front a number of other Dallas cover bands such as The Rhythm In Motion (T.R.I.M.) Groove Pose and Cuvee. While with Cuvee, Top had numerous appearances on Channel 8’s Good Morning Texas where host Paula McClure consistently featured him as one of Dallas/Fort Worth’s finest musicians.
Top easily distinguishes himself from all of the other singers in this industry because he doesn’t just sing — he entertains. That is what Top is all about. He pours himself into every song and becomes that artist with his uncanny ability to manipulate his voice to sound just like them. Some of his specialties are Steve Wonder, Michael Jackson, Sting, Mic Jagger and believe it or not, Barry White. When you see Top perform there is literally never a dull moment. Whether you are one who likes to dance and be part of all the action or just sit back and watch the performance, Top offers something for everyone to enjoy!
Top’s talents lay not only in live performances, but in the studio and as a writer as well. You can frequently hear his voice on radio stations all over the United States singing radio spots and station tags. Writing has always been a passion for Top and he is currently working on his second original CD, which is scheduled to be released at the end of this year.
