Thomas Owens also known as “T.O. Tha Student” was born and raised in Cleveland, Ohio. At
the young age of 7-years-old he acknowledges his love for music. During that time Thomas
would sit in his room and listen to old hip-hop tapes that his mom had sitting around the house.
Which many of those tapes featured artist like Slick Rick. He fell in love with the way that Slick Rick would use storytelling, and his clever use of words in his music. At the age of 11-years-old, Thomas’s mother bought him a keyboard. Almost immediately he fell in love with the sound of beats after countless nights of trying to master the keys. His most favorite memory in music is when he was 12-years-old and Flesh N’ Bone of the group “Bone Thugs N’ Harmony” freestyle for young Thomas live inside his home. As of that day he has been driven to do music. Thomas attended Glenville High School where he was a member of the Men’s Baseball Team. After graduation he received a baseball scholarship to Myers University where he played for two years. After his second year at Myers, he transferred to Cleveland State University where he joined Iota Phi Theta. During his fourth year of college he participated in a flag football game that turned into a day he would never forget. At some point in the game he shattered his entire left leg. This incident has encouraged Thomas to focus more on his music and studies because he was not able to play collegiate sports due to his devastating injury. While he began to recover
