About Tommee Profitt

Born Thomas James Profitt in Grand Rapids, Michigan, this creative force started his musical journey early. He picked up piano as a kid and began producing his own tracks by age 12. Fast forward to today, and Tommee Profitt operates from his own studio in Franklin, Tennessee. His path from bedroom producer to industry heavyweight proves that passion plus persistence creates magic. The move from Michigan to Nashville in 2017 wasn’t just geographic—it was transformational.

The NF Connection That Changed Tommee’s Life

Tommee Profitt’s breakthrough came through his collaboration with rapper NF, a partnership that began back in Michigan. When both artists relocated to Nashville, their creative chemistry reached new heights. The duo co-wrote and produced “Let You Down,” which became NF’s first pop chart-topper. This track earned multi-platinum certification and hit #1 on Billboard’s Mainstream Top 40. It’s one of 17 RIAA-certified Platinum singles in his catalog.

Cinematic Covers That Broke the Internet

While his work with NF established him commercially, Tommee Profitt’s cinematic covers created a whole new lane. His collaboration with Fleurie on epic reimagined versions of popular songs became streaming phenomena. These covers transform familiar tracks into trailer-worthy experiences that feel both nostalgic and fresh. What makes this even more impressive is achieving these numbers as independent releases. The cinematic approach has made his music a go-to choice for sync placements.

A Producer’s Producer

Beyond his own releases, Tommee Profitt has worked with an impressive roster of artists. His production credits include work with Migos, Avril Lavigne, Josh Groban, and Hunter Hayes. He’s also collaborated with Christian artists and has over 300 major sync placements in movie trailers and TV promos. This versatility across genres showcases his ability to adapt his cinematic style to different musical contexts. His overall catalog has exceeded 100 billion global streams and views across all platforms.

The Sound That Defines Epic

What sets Tommee Profitt apart is his signature cinematic approach to production. He layers orchestral elements with modern production techniques to create massive, emotional soundscapes. His covers often transform familiar songs into epic experiences that sound like they belong in blockbuster trailers. This approach has earned him 26 Gold singles and multiple Platinum albums.
