Summary
In this episode of the Social Proof Podcast, I had the pleasure of sitting down with the trend setting and talented Theron Thomas, a renowned songwriter from St. Thomas. Theron shared his journey from his early days in the Virgin Islands to becoming one of the most successful songwriters in the industry. He explained the unique way his name is pronounced in St. Thomas and how his mother named him Theron, dropping the 'H' in pronunciation.
T-Ron also touched on the evolving landscape of the music industry, where the barriers to entry have lowered, resulting in an overwhelming amount of new music being released daily. He stressed the importance of treating music creation as a job and maintaining a strong work ethic to succeed in such a competitive environment.
