Brian Kelley

Brian Kelley is a country musician widely recognized as one-half of the iconic Nashville-based duo Florida Georgia Line, which played a significant role in shaping the modern country music landscape. Known for their fusion of country, pop, and rock elements, the duo's groundbreaking success, particularly with hits like "Cruise," established Kelley as a household name in the genre.

Kelley's musical journey took a new turn in 2021 when he embarked on a solo career, all while continuing his work with Florida Georgia Line. His solo debut, "Sunshine State of Mind," marked a departure from the duo's sound, offering a fresh, beachy, and laid-back vibe that resonated with fans. Kelley's subsequent extended play, "BK's Wave Pack," and the single "See You Next Summer," which peaked at #28 on the US Country Airplay chart, further solidified his versatility as an artist.

Beyond his music, Kelley has made significant strides in the business side of the industry. In 2015, he co-founded Tree Vibez Music, a music publishing and artist development company. His entrepreneurial spirit continued to grow with the launch of Round Here Records in 2019, followed by the establishment of Nashville South Records in partnership with Warner Music Nashville in 2021. In 2022, Kelley made another pivotal career move by signing with Big Machine Records, broadening his influence in the industry.

Kelley’s impact extends beyond music into the world of theater, showcasing his creativity and artistic range. In 2021, he launched the stage musical "May We All," inspired by the Florida Georgia Line song of the same name. This venture highlighted Kelley's ability to cross genres and explore new avenues for storytelling, further solidifying his status as a multifaceted artist.
