Brian Kelley and Tyler Hubbard of Florida Georgia Line became best friends and started making music together in college and now with all the success they’ve achieved Brian says nothing has changed in their relationship. “We really don’t have anything to argue about, I guess that’s why this is working so well. We kinda get on the same page and we always have been, and if there’s anything that’s any little issue we just kinda treat it like a marriage, just talk about it, like OK, this is what I feel, this is what you feel and this is what’s best.”
Not only do they get along well on a personal level, but they tend to be on the same page when it comes to their music. “Even down to a melody or a line in a song, if he’s not feelin’ it, I’m not feelin’ it, and vice versa,” says Brian. “We trust each other. We both have to agree on the same thing, and we are best friends. No label put us together, we didn’t win a talent competition. We worked hard and our fans and country radio made us what we are.”
So far their business sense seems to be paying off with six #1 songs to their credit, and their latest single, “Sun Daze,” sitting in the top five.
