About Trent Willmon:
Born in Amarillo, TX and raised in Dickens County, Trent Willmon has Texas red dirt in his blood. This ranch kid gone renowned songwriter & producer was bred to make country music and you can hear his truth in every word. At an early age, he began working on the family ranch as well as neighboring farms and ranches before studying animal science at South Plains College. There he joined his first band and decided to pursue music instead. A rural upbringing taught him skills that transposed well into songwriting: work ethic, an ability to roll with the kicks and a deep appreciation for the simple things in life – The things that are the heart and soul of small town Americana. Real life experiences forged the bones of what would become Willmon’s art of the song.
