FLORIDA GEORGIA LINE
Who is Florida Georgia Line?
Florida Georgia Line is our generations wonder duo that shot into the limelight out of nowhere with their mega hit “Cruising” back in 2012. Cruising was the crossover hit that came out in 2013 that lead Florida Georgia Line to superstardom and then eventually, the biggest country single of all time. Rapper Nelly caught wind of this hit and remixed “Cruising” to give it new life to carry on in the charts! It wasn’t long before thousands and thousands of fans were lining up to buy Florida Georgia line tickets.
Brian Kelley and Tyler Hubbard are initially from Ormand Beach, Florida and later from Monroe Georgia. (Can you 
guess where the inspiration for the duo name came from?) Moved by Church Worship music, the duo initially met in College through a campus worship group and collaborated to write music between classes. The pair decided to dabble in the local music scene by playing in Southeast club circuit, which in return started their fan following. The appeal was that Florida Georgia Line gave the fans a distinctive contemporary beat to the country music. Kelley and Hubbard quickly picked up and managed by Big Loud Mountain. Florida Georgia Line’s first collaboration with studio producer Joey Moi resulted in “It’z Just What We Do”.
