Because he wears so many hats, there are plenty of words that can be used to describe music industry executive and television producer, Phil Thornton. But there is one word in particular that also comes to mind: fearless. And that’s because Thornton has proven that he can confidently and consistently create projects and content that successfully goes against the grain.

So how does Thornton balance everything? “Ever since I stepped on this earth I believe my steps have truly been ordered for me,” he says. “I’m fearless because I know that I’ve got God on my side.
