“Songwriting has been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember,” Thomas says. “I was a songwriter before I was an artist, and I was lucky enough to find a team that believed in me really early on. Songwriting [is] the foundation for my artist career, so I’m excited and honored to be able to invest in the future of the songwriting community.”

In addition to pairing with Jay Z for the venture, TR will also partner with dad Rhett Akins for Home Team Publishing.
