Tyler Hubbard initially had no plans on becoming a solo artist. In fact, he was totally surprised when his Florida Georgia Line partner, Brian Kelley, said he was ready to move on from the duo to do his own thing, musically. Tyler told Entertainment Tonight, “It was definitely unexpected and something that BK came to me and wanted to do, and it took me a minute to kind of process that. And I thought, 'Well, I'll just be a songwriter, and I won't do the artist thing.'”
For a while that worked, but Tyler began missing those parts of being an artist like recording and touring. He said, “It's been really fun to kind of step into this new season and connect with the fans.”
Tyler releases his self-titled album today (Friday, January 27th). He's already topped the charts with his debut single, “5 Foot 9,” and his current single, “Dancin' In The Country,” is a Top 40 hit and climbing.
