In 2013, Funderburk founded Muzit, Inc., an online media company that is a marketing platform to connect artists and fans in the peer-to-peer network which launched January 2016.

Funderburk was born in North Carolina, and grew up in the south. His favorite music included The Beatles, all kinds of R&B, soul and Gospel. In college, he played in a band he and some friends started called Sanctuary. He studied to be a high school history teacher and recorded jingles at a local studio. The band once opened for Andrae Crouch. Crouch and his drummer were impressed by the young singer and encouraged Tommy to come to L.A.

Funderburk sold everything he had and moved to L.A. where he met someone from Earth, Wind and Fire. He was introduced to David Foster (who co-wrote several songs on the EW&F album I Am) and Jay Graydon, who were looking for a singer for their project Airplay. The role soon fell to Funderburk.
