Thomas Edwards - Topic

Born and raised in East Tennessee, singer-songwriter Thomas Edwards grew up in a home filled with music. His mother served as a music minister, while his father played bluegrass fiddle—sounds that became the backdrop of his childhood. It wasn’t long before that musical legacy found its way to Thomas. He first discovered his voice singing in church, and by middle school, he added cello to his repertoire—unknowingly following a path to the big stage before he even realized it was his to walk. But under Friday night lights in high school, Thomas found a second passion: football. That drive led him to the storied gridiron of the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, an experience that inspired his 2023 debut single, “Runnin’ Through That T.” The ode to Rocky Top not only merged his two passions but also sent him further down that spotlit path. Now, the Nashville-based singer-songwriter is backed by Warner Records Nashville. A full debut project in the works, Edwards’ first release is “High Times,” out now.
