After ten years as one half of Country duo, Florida Georgia Line, Tyler Hubbard has officially launched his career as a solo artist. Celebrating the release of his debut, solo-single, “5 foot 9,” Hubbard is joining Rob + Holly to talk about the new venture.
“This has been such a process,” he shares. “This is a conversation that started almost two years ago now… took some time for me to even accept that we’re [Florida Georgia Line] going to take a break, but also to accept and process and digest the fact that, ‘Oh, I have a story to tell and I have songs that I want to say and sing.’”
While the idea of going solo took Hubbard some time to wrap his mind around, he says receiving full support from duo mate, Brian Kelley “BK,” who also released his own solo-single, “Beach Cowboy,” is what ultimately made him go for it.
“Quite honestly, I was fairly inspired and empowered by watching BK do it,” Hubbard said. “That takes a lot of courage, a lot of bravery and getting out of your comfort zone and our rhythm of what we’re so comfortable for doing for 10 years is a a big step.”
Listen to more about the launch of Tyler’s solo journey as he joins Rob + Holly for the Friday Night Takeover on June 3 from 7PM-midnight.
