Shortly afterwards, his first album Paradoxes, along with his first single, Les Mots Bleus, were released, Paradoxes coming 3rd in the top 50 albums of its opening week. After three years, Thierry released his second album on the 20 November 2006, titled eponymously Thierry Amiel. The album gained 16th place in the top selling albums of France, with the single Cœur Sacré peaking at 6th place in top singles.

He placed third. In 2010, Thierry was chosen to play the lead role of Adam, in the musical comedy, Adam et Eve, La Seconde Chance (Adam and Eve, the Second Chance), by Pascal Obispo. The comedy is scheduled for performances beginning Jan. 31, 2012 through Mar. 25, 2012 at the Palais des Sports in Paris.

Voting took place over the internet from Dec. 14, 2011, until the final showdown ending at midnight on Jan. 11, 2012. Thierry won with 80% of the vote. The tour of the musical Adam et Eve, La Seconde Chance, was abruptly canceled in August, 2012, with the following explanation given: “The company Adam & Eve Production has decided to cancel the tour of the musical of the same name. The deterioration of the economic climate unfortunately does not produce the show to date, with the same level of artistic quality and requirement has been proposed with success at the Palais des Sports in Paris from January 31 to March 25, 2012”. Recently, in May, 2013, Thierry revealed that he has been quietly working on titles for his 4th album with help from composer-producer, Axelle Renoir.
