Florida Georgia Line is a pioneering American country music duo, composed of Tyler Hubbard and Brian Kelley, who formed in Nashville, Tennessee, in 2010. Renowned for their “bro-country” style, which incorporates elements of rock and hip hop, the duo gained widespread recognition with their breakthrough single “Cruise” in 2012. This record-breaking track made history as the first country song to receive Diamond certification, amassing over seven million downloads and spending 24 weeks at number one on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart.
Following their initial success, Florida Georgia Line released their debut album, *Here’s to the Good Times* (2012), which became the sixth-best-selling album of 2013, solidifying their status in the country music scene. Their musical journey continued with subsequent albums, including *Anything Goes* (2014) and *Dig Your Roots* (2016), which featured collaborations with prominent artists like Tim McGraw and the Backstreet Boys. The duo was awarded the Digital Diamond Award for “Cruise” in 2016, recognizing their exceptional commercial achievements.
In addition to their music, Florida Georgia Line has ventured into entrepreneurship, launching their own whiskey brand, Old Camp Whiskey, and establishing Round Here Records in 2019 with Canaan Smith as their flagship artist. They have embarked on several successful tours, including the *Dirt Road Diaries Tour* and the *Can’t Say I Ain’t Country Tour*.
Despite announcing a hiatus in 2022, Florida Georgia Line’s impact on country music remains profound, having won numerous awards and accolades, including the Breakout Artist of the Decade. Their dynamic sound and exceptional songwriting continue to resonate with fans, making them a sought-after act for performances and collaborations in the industry.
