Thomas Rhett is the 23-year-old son of Rhett Akins... and much like his "daddy", Thomas writes his own music and credits his dad with his love for songwriting.

Rhett said, "I’m really proud to say my dad is Rhett Akins and I guess you could say I get my songwriting from him." Some of Rhett's favorite songs that his dad has written include;

Justin Moore’s "Point At You"

Blake Shelton's "Honey Bee"

Rodney Atkins' "Take a Backroad"

Joe Nichols' "Gimmie That Girl"

and Thomas Rhett's very own single "It Goes Like This"... check out the video below.
