Ryan Thomas has shared an update on his daughter Scarlett's music career as she prepares to fly to Nashville. The 17-year-old, known for her role in Waterloo Road, has signed a record deal and is set to work with renowned songwriter Julien Bunetta, who previously collaborated with One Direction and Sabrina Carpenter.
On his podcast 'At Home With The Thomas Brothers', Ryan expressed his pride, saying: 'What's unbelievable about all this is the guy that she signed to... have two other brothers who own the record label in the States - and this guy is called Julian Bunetta.' He added that Scarlett will be flying out next month to record at Bunetta's house in Nashville for a week.
Ryan described the opportunity as 'crazy', noting that Scarlett said: 'Dad, I like pinch myself, like, what is going on.' He continued: 'It's just crazy to think that she's going to be in that studio in Nashville, where music is basically originating from... and she's going to be in and around it, just living and breathing and potentially like a song that we're all going to hear on the radio one day.'
Earlier this month, Ryan announced the news on Instagram, calling it 'one of the best days of my life'. He recalled a moment of serendipity when Scarlett recognised the restaurant where she signed the deal, having previously performed 'A Million Dreams' there five years ago. Scarlett also shared her excitement online, writing: 'Today was a life changing moment for me... I can’t wait for what this year brings, hopefully some amazing music.'
