The Art of Performance Inherited
Growing up with entertainment as a second language was not hard for the 13 year old. This rising star grew up in the world of live stage production.
The apple does not fall from the tree with this family! His mother, Jenni Drennen, is a writer and director for large events and film production.
Rhett knew he wanted to be an on-stage performer when he was five years old. He would constantly grab the microphones from my backstage table and ask when it was his turn to go on stage!” ~Mom, Jenni Drennen
Harmony and Perspective as a Male Actor
Rhett has the remarkable ability to sing HARMONY. He also realizes that there are not many young males pushing forward in roles such as dancing and singing as an actor.
In music, harmony is the process by which the composition of individual sounds, or superpositions of sounds, is analysed by hearing. Usually, this means simultaneously occurring frequencies, pitches (tones, notes), or chords.[1]
Learning on Set
Rhett participated on the set of an experimental TV segment called “In The Lab.” He was mesmerized all the working pieces about it.

Victory Through Discipline & Courage
Rhett’s mother placed him into ukulele lessons when he was nine. At first, Rhett disliked it. He wanted to quit this new instrument after his third lesson.
His mom encouraged him to continue and not give up. It has taught him to build resilience and discipline.
Rhett understood the importance of those two things during his first musical performance in front of a live crowd. He practiced at great lengths to do an amazing job performing, he found himself terrified of going on stage.
Luckily, a few cast members of the event came on stage with Rhett and supported him in his performance by singing along with him as his backup. Although he had his eyes closed the entire time he was playing and singing, Rhett felt a sense of undeniable victory after he finished his song.
Enjoy Yourself and Get Silly!
Rhett loves having Nerf Gun wars, even if he has to get creative and have them by himself.
He is a snowboarding enthusiast and would like to learn the intricate art of parkour. He believes the two sports go hand-in-hand as studying parkour will allow him to develop better snowboarding tricks.
