“As founder of Phat Barz Records & Multimedia, I strive to create music that engages listeners while telling a story. 

My passion is producing music that is powerful and authentic so that the experience of music is always both enjoyable and meaningful.”   -Troy Barnett

With 29 years of experience in the industry, musician, engineer, and producer Troy Barnett is absolutely about all things music. As an alumnus of Kashmere High School, he was blessed to study under the legendary Sir William Portis – Band Director. This is when his obsession with music began.  Then later studying and perfecting his craft under Prof Howard Harris at Texas Southern University allowed him to become the skilled musician that he is today. 

“Music has, and always will be my inspiration. Phat Barz Records, music is more than a passion, it’s my life.” -Troy Barnett

Phat Barz Records has been proudly serving artists in the music industry for nearly 30 years, boasting an extensive portfolio including collaborations with talented artists in almost every music genre and continuously striving to raise the bar.

The upcoming single “Old Dusty Road”, Written and Produced by Troy Barnett, is inspired by fond family memories and the peaceful happiness of his childhood in rural Texas. It's a tribute to the people and experiences that have influenced his life.
