He moved to Orlando, Florida in 1993 and formed the band Tabitha's Secret. The group was somewhat successful before Thomas, bassist Brian Yale, and drummer Paul Doucette left to form Matchbox Twenty. Later inductions into the band completed the line-up and the band was all set for a launch.

Rob Thomas became a celebrity with his band back in 1996 with the release of the single Push. Together the band kept up the momentum and released many singles in succession.

A decade dawned, with the success of albums Mad Season (2000) and More Than You Think You Are (2002). Both cemented Matchbox Twenty's reputation as a first rate rock band. However, many years of non-stop touring took its toll as the band decided to take a break and pursued solo interests. Thomas used this period to produce his first solo album, Lonely No More. The album was a sharp departure from Thomas’s past rock oriented musical style. The critics rated the 2005 album as sleek and funky and could be considered a dance-pop record. Later he found recluse in roots of old school hard rock traditions as well as rawness of the Seattle based Grunge movement form the early nineties.

He showed his range and diversity when he collaborated with Latin guitar great Carlos Santana on the album Supernatural. Thomas musical is often categorized as Alternative rock and Post-grunge. However, most critics associate his style and content with the more mainstream Pop Rock.
