A native of St. Thomas, Theron Thomas got his start writing songs and producing as one-half of R. City with his brother Timothy Thomas. The duo initially signed a deal in 2007 under Akon's KonLive Distribution after meeting the rapper in Atlanta and writing album cut "The Rain" for his 2006 sophomore LP Konvicted. By 2015, they'd landed a top 10 hit of their own, thanks to their single "Locked Away" featuring Adam Levine, and released their debut album, What Dreams Are Made Of. The whole time, Thomas and his brother were also writing for other artists, churning out bangers for the Pussycat Dolls ("When I Grow Up"), Rihanna ("Man Down"), Miley Cyrus ("We Can't Stop") and more.

In the past year, Thomas has brought his own hit-making pen to high-profile hip-hop collabs by Chlöe and Future ("Cheatback"), Ciara and Chris Brown ("How We Roll") and Lil Durk's and J. Cole ("All My Life"). He's also worked with rising stars like Ayla and Sekou and even segued into the world of K-pop by contributing to "Seven," Jungkook's Latto-assisted debut solo single.

"I always say I'm the Chick-fil-A of the music business," Thomas said in an interview with HOT 97 in February. "I'm here to serve and I'm here to bring something to the table."

„Ashley Gorley is the most commercially successful songwriter of all time. The Kentucky-native has written an unprecedented 80 No. 1 radio singles and nearly 500 releases with artists including Morgan Wallen, Post Malone, Chris Stapleton, Jelly Roll, Luke Bryan, Carrie Underwood, Thomas Rhett, Kelsea Ballerini, Bon Jovi, and Weezer. Most recently, Gorley co-wrote 10 songs on Post Malone’s debut country album including the global hit, “I Had Some Help,” featuring Wallen, which topped the Billboard Global 200, Hot 100, US Radio Songs, Pop, Adult Pop and Country Airplay charts. Gorley’s 9th chart-topper of 2024 and his most recent hit, the poignant “I Am Not Okay” written with and recorded by Jelly Roll, depicts the challenges of mental health in an honest light. The commercial success of the song provides a platform for further mental health advocacy for fans and members of the music community alike.“
