Florida Georgia Line: Background and Formation
Florida Georgia Line was formed in 2010 in country music central, Nashville, Tennessee when Florida-born Brian Kelley and Georgia-born Tyler Hubbard — both music enthusiasts — decided to move from covering songs to creating them.
The duo had met in 2008 while both attending Belmont University and the same college prayer group. Besides their shared religious values, they also shared the same taste in music. They decided to give music a try and started living together, working in menial jobs on weekdays, and performing in bars on the weekends.
They independently produced and distributed their debut album, Anything Like Me EP. They were scouted by music producer, Joey Moi, and the trio entered the studio together, where their second EP, It’z Just What We Do, was produced.
They were soon signed by a major record label when their “Cruise” gained airtime, and the rest is history.
