Tyler Hubbard

Hubbard was introduced to Brian Kelley at Belmont University in 2007 by a mutual friend in a campus worship group. The two became great friends, and began writing songs and playing guitar together.[2] The two began playing writers rounds throughout Nashville, as well as selling out shows at local venues. In 2009, the duo decided they wanted to pursue music as a career and they started playing shows throughout the south. In 2010, they recorded and digitally distributed their first EP, Anything Like Me. Shortly after they were discovered at a county fair by Nickelback's producer, Joey Moi. After writing and polishing songs for two years, the duo released their second EP It'z Just What We Do in 2012. Major labels became interested when their debut single, "Cruise", first hit satellite radio on "The Highway" channel and began selling well on iTunes, leading to a deal with Republic Nashville and the Big Machine Label Group.[5]

In the fall of 2011, Hubbard signed a publishing deal with Big Loud Shirt.

The duo released their first studio album, Here's to the Good Times, on December 4, 2012, with Republic Nashville. The album was the sixth best selling album of 2013.[6] "Cruise", the first single on the album, reached number 1 on the Country Airplay chart dated December 15, 2012.[7] A remix of "Cruise" featuring Nelly later hit number 4 on the Billboard Hot 100. The song is also the best selling country digital song of all time, with sales of over 10 million, and it spent 24 weeks at number 1 on Hot Country songs.[6] The other singles from this album include "Get Your Shine On", "Round Here", "Stay", and "This Is How We Roll".[8]

In February 2014, Hubbard sustained a back injury in a dirt bike accident.[9]

Florida Georgia Line's second studio album, Anything Goes, was released on October 14, 2014.[10] The album's first single, "Dirt",was released on July 8, 2014. Other singles from this album include "Sun Daze", "Sippin' On Fire", "Anything Goes" and "Confession".

They released their fourth studio album, Can't Say I Ain't Country, on February 15, 2019. Singles include "Simple", "Talk You Out of It" and "Blessings".

In 2015, Hubbard and Kelley started their own artist development and music publishing company called Tree Vibez Music.[11] Since the company began, they have signed writer Jordan Schmidt, writer Jimmie Deeghan, writer/artist Drew Castle as well as singer-songwriters Canaan Smith and RaeLynn.[12] In 2019, Hubbard and Kelley launched Round Here Records; an independent label with Smith signed as the flagship artist.[13]

In 2021, Hubbard’s bandmate Brian Kelley signalled an intention to record and release solo music while remaining a part of Florida Georgia Line, with the support of Hubbard.[14] Simultaneously, Hubbard revealed he would occasionally record collaborations as a solo artist as well. The first of these, the single "Undivided" with Tim McGraw, was released on January 13, 2021.[15]
