Thomason marks a meaningful turning point in the creative journey of Trey Lewis, opening a new musical chapter defined by restraint, reflection, and emotional truth. Rather than chasing viral moments or clever punchlines, this project centers on songwriting that sits with you, built from lived experience and delivered with quiet confidence. Under the Thomason name, Lewis leans into a more grounded version of himself, one where authenticity leads and the songs are designed to be felt as much as they are heard.
That intention comes into focus with ‘Hill I’d Die On,' the first preview from Thomason’s debut project, due later this spring. The song is a warm, reflective meditation on home, family, and simplicity, told from the perspective of someone who has chased ambition, seen the world, and weathered life’s challenges, only to realise that belonging has always been rooted in where it all began. Written with Davis Corley, the track unfolds like a personal manifesto, embracing humility, grace, and the belief that everyone is doing the best they can. It is a song that values dirt roads over destinations and meaning over momentum.
For Thomason, the song was born from a moment of loss and clarity. Returning home to Alabama following his grandfather’s passing prompted deeper reflection on where he comes from and where he ultimately wants to be. Drawing inspiration from the straightforward wisdom of songs like Lynyrd Skynyrd’s ‘Simple Man,' ‘Hill I’d Die On' captures a philosophy built on living simply, loving deeply, and treating people well.
While Lewis first found widespread attention through viral, chart-topping hits, storytelling has always been his foundation. With Thomason, that instinct sharpens, revealing a more vulnerable, curious artist willing to explore love, loss, growth, and the quiet moments that shape a life, as heard on recent tracks ‘Lucky One' and ‘AA.'
