Young Thomas Rhett

However, when he graduated from high school he didn’t know what he wanted to pursue in college. Thus he just took a course in communications. He realized that he wanted to pursue a music career while he was still studying. So, he dropped out of school and gave it a try.

Life recently: 2017-2018
