Thomas Siffling was one of the first German trumpet players who used electronic devices for extending his sound on the trumpet. For many years, he belongs to the pioneers of electronic influence in jazz. He is known as one of the most important representatives of the "young" German jazz scene and has made himself a name by numerous guest performances in Germany and foreign countries, i.e. Russia, India, Sri Lanka, Canada and numerous European states. He sees himself as a border crosser between various genres and connects in his music jazz forms with pop music and electronic elements without denying his musical roots at any point. He changes between natural sounds and specific sound enlargements by the electronics on trumpet and flugelhorn in order to create for the listener a wonderful diverse sound experience. 

In 2005 he was awarded with the Jazz prize Baden Wrttemberg. Club des Belugas is one of the leading Nujazz bands in Europe, perhaps in the world. They combine contemporary European Lounge & Nujazz Styles with Brazilian Beats, Swing and American Black Soul of the fifties, sixties and seventies using their unique creativity and intensity. Club des Belugas & Thomas Siffling met the first time in 2010, when both performed at the Jazz Festival Mannheim (Germany). Their first cooperation was the recording of the track "Ocean Cruise", which was released on the latest Club des Belugas album "Forward" (2012). After this successful "joint venture" they decided to record an complete album together, which will be released on ChinChin Records. The Hungarian singer Veronika Harcsa appears on this album a special guest, performing on 3 tracks. http://www.beatport.com/release/the-chinchin-sessions/1140871
