Garrett O. Thomas has been working in public relations for several years. He lived in Tucson, Ariz., where he focused on restaurant publicity, combating restaurant foreclosures during the economic recession in 2008. Eventually he moved to Houston, where he began working in technology publicity, promoting software and online publicity integration for Fortune 500 companies. After handling more than 12 contracts and overseeing hundreds of thousands in contractual agreements, Thomas decided that he wanted to progress his career into the entertainment industry. Thomas got a job as a celebrity publicist for Def Jam artist Jeremih in New York. While Thomas collaborated with Def Jam and CAA, Jeremih received a 2012 Billboard Awards nomination for top R&B song. From that point on, Thomas has worked with musicians, actors, and producers, promoting brands, educating them on publicity, and increasing his reach into a variety of areas in the entertainment industry.
