Brian and Tyler of Florida Georgia Line are great business guys and always looking to expand their portfolio, which is part of the reason they started their publishing company, Tree Vibez Music, but they also wanted to pay forward all the support and guidance they’ve been given in their own career. Brian Kelley says, “It’s taken a lot of people to get us where we’re at. You know we’ve had a lot of believers in Tyler and I through publishing, management, all sorts of avenues. So songwriting is something that’s very close to us and, you know, we were looking to mentor some young songwriters and help them out and give them a chance to succeed and chase their dreams just like we had.”
The “Smooth” singers have worked hard to get where they’re at today, but they also credit their success to people around them. “It takes some people to believe in you to get a little jump start to get ahead and to help you chase your dreams,” says Brian, “so that’s what we’re all about and it keeps us creative it keeps us motivated.”
Florida Georgia Line – why launch Tree Vibez :49
Brian Kelley – “We just love songs, man. We love people, we love gaining knowledge, we love sharing knowledge and we love helping people out. It’s taken a lot of people to get us where we’re at. You know we’ve had a lot of believers in Tyler and I through publishing, management, all sorts of avenues. So songwriting is something that’s very close to us and, you know, we were looking to mentor some young songwriters and help them out and give them a chance to succeed and chase their dreams just like we had, because you know when we signed our publishing deal, Tyler and I were painting houses, tricking out some golf carts and doing a whole bunch of odds and end jobs and trying to make this thing work. So it takes some people to believe in you to get a little jump start to get ahead and to help you chase your dreams so that’s what we’re all about and it keeps us creative it keeps us motivated. We’re also entrepreneurs and like to make smart business decisions and it’s fun to continue to push the boundaries all across the industry.”
