The Untold Truth Of Florida Georgia Line

Meet Tyler Hubbard and Brian Kelley, better known as the country duo Florida Georgia Line. Throughout the 2010s, you couldn't escape their songs on the radio, but they started from the bottom and worked their way to the top. This is the untold truth of Florida Georgia Line. While Brian Kelley grew up in Ormond Beach, Florida, and Tyler Hubbard in Monroe, Georgia, the two came from similar backgrounds. Both are Baptists, both enjoy fishing, and both men enjoy country legend Garth Brooks and rapper Eminem in equal measure. By 2008, they finally met at Belmont University in Nashville. Recalling his first memory of Hubbard, Kelley told Billboard, "[He was driving his pickup truck] windows down, blowing diesel smoke, listening to Lil Wayne. And I was like, man, that's how I grew up." At school, Hubbard and Kelley knew each other from campus worship. Kelley, who was a star high school athlete, said he skipped baseball practice one day to go watch Hubbard play a musical showcase. From there, the classmates started to make music. Kelley said, "The first time we ever wrote together, we were finishing each other's sentences. No record label, no one other than the man upstairs, can put something like that together." So the story goes, Hubbard and Kelley met up at McDonald's toward the end of their studies to hatch a plan for the future, and decided to give themselves two years to make it as a duo, while making money any way possible.
