He has also had cuts with Morgan Wallen, Mitchell Tenpenny, George Birge and Parmalee, among others, and co-wrote Dillon Carmichael‘s “Drinkin’ Problems” and Corey Kent‘s “This Heart.”

“Thomas is a force. Super excited to put our talents together and win,” says Combustion Music Founder & President Chris Farren.

Combustion Music General Manager Keithan Melton states, “Thomas has long established himself as one of the best songwriters in Nashville. His work ethic and passion for what he does is contagious, and we are thrilled to add him to our roster. We look forward to what we can accomplish together.”

“I’m excited to have the opportunity to work with the Combustion team and look forward to the songs we collaborate on,” shares Archer.
