The Valory Music Co. roster is expanding with the signing announcement of newcomer Thomas Rhett.
The Georgia native is the son of singer/songwriter Rhett Akins, and may have inherited some of his father’s songwriting prowess. In 2010, while still enrolled at Nashville’s Lipscomb University, Rhett signed a publishing deal with EMI and promptly got a cut on Jason Aldean’s double-platinum My Kinda Party with “I Ain’t Ready To Quit.”
“I honestly can’t believe all of this is finally here! I am so pumped to be working with The Valory Music Company!” says Rhett. “There is no doubt in my mind that Scott Borchetta and his staff are the most caring, family-oriented, hardest working team in the business. It truly is an honor to be labelmates with Brantley, Justin and Reba.”
Rhett is currently working on his debut album and playing select dates on Brantley Gilbert’s fall headlining tour (dates included). He is managed by Virginia Davis of B.A.D. Management.
