At 9 years old, Ragen was in the Broadway first national tour for School of Rock. Now, at just 11 years old, Tommy has released three studio albums and the “Mighty Oak” soundtrack features many of Ragen's original songs.

Following up with the 2020 film “Mighty Oak,” released by Paramount ViacomCBS in July 2020, Ragen returned to the studio to create his latest single ‘Ice Cream.’

Tommy Ragen may only be 12 years old but don’t let that fool you. With three studio-albums and a major motion picture under his belt, Tommy is just getting started.

Ragen has also been called a child prodigy. He is inspiring youth all over who aim to get into the entertainment industry, or just enjoy his body of work so far. There is so much more to come for this talented young guy.

Tommy’s New Single ‘Ice Cream’

Ragen put down his guitar and shifted gears to write, sing, rap, dance, and produce his latest single ‘Ice Cream.’ This track is the ideal fun-loving summer song about the innocence of flirting, romance, and feelings. “I wanted to express myself in a different way than I have on my previous albums,” said Ragen. “A lot has changed for me over the years, and so has my appreciation of all types of music. It was also a blast being able to make the video with Celai West.”

Influencer Flame On-Set

Tommy’s on-set crush is none other than actress, model, entrepreneur, and environmental activist Celai West who is claimed to be youngest show producer (Runway Coordinator), featured at both Los Angeles and New York Fashion Week, founded a t-shirt company called "The Chatty Chick,” and a texture activist who aims to help change the negative views of Afro hair—boasting nearly 200k followers throughout social media.

What is it like to be called a teen sensation?

Tommy Ragen:

I’m still not a teenager. But it’s flattering when people like what I do.

Tammy Reese:

How do you balance your family, academic studies and career?

Tommy Ragen:

I’m home schooled, so that’s been a big help. My parents give me a lot of time to write and record music. My family is always together and so spending time with my family is never a problem.

Describe how you felt the first time you heard your song complete?

Tommy Ragen:

Really happy and it made me want to do another one!

What are some of your most memorable experiences in your career so far?

Probably spending time on the set of “Mighty Oak”. I made so many friends and it was such an intense experience. I’ll never forget it.

Tammy Reese:

What are you currently working on?

Tommy Ragen:

I booked a feature film that will be announced in October. We are also filming in October and I must be able to fight. I’m taking fighting lessons and that’s such a blast.

I’m also finishing up my next album. That will be released by the end of the year.

What is next for you?

School starts tomorrow and so that adds a lot to my plate. I’m going to miss summer. The last answer plus school and hanging with friends.

What is some advice you would give to our youth who aspire to enter the entertainment industry?

Have fun and try to work with people that are positive! Even coaches can be too hard on kids. Try to avoid people like that and work with people that make you feel good.
