Thaddaeus Magley is a music composer, photographer and vocalist. He has created over twenty albums and has spanned over four genres of music in just five years. Magley grew up in a musical family, both of his parents could play the piano so it was natural to be introduced to musical instruments and music. Magley never really took music lessons, yet from a young age he improvised on the piano and organ. Then in 2022 just a few days before his mother died of cancer he found himself playing songs by ear, in the aftermath of his mother’s death Magley went all in on music.  He bought his first MIDI keyboard in 2023 and proceeded to create his third album "Serenity" which he released under Serenity Quest. He would then go on to create over twenty albums in the following years. Notably in 2024 he created "Broken Dreams" a 35 track album in loving memory of his mother, then in 2025 he created "Life (Joy And Sorrow)" a more or less gospel album of both original and hymn covers. Then he followed up with "Many Waters" an neoclassical/ ambient album. Then in December of 2025 he released his third Christmas album, "Christmas At Sea" which was a side project from a much bigger project, Mystery Mountain.
