Garth Brooks got his start in Oklahoma City, producing demo tapes and singing at local clubs. His cousin is the singer Karen Brooks. He has sold over 90 million albums worldwide and won countless awards.

Early Life

Garth brooks was born Troyal Garth Brooks on February 7, 1962, in Tulsa, Oklahoma. He was the last of six children born to Troyal Raymond Brooks, a distinguished oil company executive who worked for Phillips Petroleum Company for almost 30 years, and Colleen McElroy Carroll, a former elementary school teacher originally from Ohio.

Brooks grew up inon, one of the outer suburbs of Tulsa, and he and his three brothers and two sisters (two older and one younger) grew up listening to the likes of The Eagles, John Denver, Jim Croce, Jerry Jeff Walker, Bob Seeger, Johnny Cash, Merle Haggard, George Jones  and The Everly Brothers.

First year at Oklahoma State University:

However, it wasn’t until Brook’s first year at Oklahoma State University that he determined music was going to be his life. While walking through the student union one day, Brooks heard Don Williams’ song “The Shelter of Your Eyes” playing over the speakers. ‘That’s when I realized that everyone has music inside them,’ Brooks says. ‘If you don’t have it, you can some paper and write songs. But music already has to be inside you.’

In 1980, at the age of 18, Brooks started his first band. He began playing guitar and bass as a member of The Tony Williams Band, where he self-taught himself to play both instruments.

Soloist and traveled throughout Oklahoma:

The following year he decided to perform as a soloist and traveled throughout Oklahoma City performing at small bars and clubs. In 1982, heartened by local response, he entered an “Oklahoma! Our Home” talent contest in Enid, Oklahoma’s Orpheum Theater. He won first place singing Kris Kristofferson’s “Why Me”. Later that same year he was defeated in similar competitions in Tulsa and Oklahoma City.

For several years thereafter, Brooks continued his ascent up the local club circuit, performing as a soloist throughout Oklahoma and Texas. In 1983, he entered another contest at the “Volunteer Jam” in Nashville. He performed a song called “Nobody’s Alone”, which would later become a hit for Ferlin Husky. Soon after, Brooks returned to Tulsa with his sights set on becoming a professional musician.

Nashville

In 1985, Brooks moved to Nashville and signed a contract with Capitol Records, and then later that year released his first single, ‘Much Too Young (To Feel This Damn Old)’, which reached No. 2 on the country charts. It was followed by his first No. 1 hit ‘If Tomorrow Never Comes’ from his self-titled album Garth Brooks. The album was certified platinum by the RIAA.

Third Studio:

In 1989, he released his third studio album “No Fences” and reached No. 1 on the Billboard Country Chart with a record breaking six consecutive singles from that album as well as a record breaking ten consecutive No. 1 hits from one album on the country chart dated for February 23, 1991. Brooks’ next two albums also took number-one titles: “Ropin’ the Wind” in September 1991 and “The Chase” in June 1992. In 1993, Brooks released his seventh studio album “In Pieces”. He then returned to Number one with his eighth studio release “” which was named after his tour of the same name.

Brooks took an extended break starting at the end of 1997 and did not return until May 1998 with the release of his first compilation album “Sevens”. The album was a chart and sales success. As the years passed, the concerts became the basis of a 2005 feature film entitled “The Ultimate Hits”, which featured archival footage of Brooks on tour as well as new interviews with fans who witnessed his phenomenon first hand. Brooks himself narrated much of this footage.

Brooks’ music was kept alive by an ever-loyal fan base that continued to purchase his albums long after he’d stopped releasing them; this allowed him to break Elvis Presley’s record for chart success (which has since been surpassed by fellow country star George Strait).

Investment in real estate

There are three homes owned by Brooks: one in Tulsa, Oklahoma; one in Nashville, Tennessee; and one in Malibu, California. The Layby Hotel on Holmes Beach on Anna Maria Island, Florida, was rumored to have been purchased by Brooks and Yearwood for $8.825 million in 2019.

Country music phenomenon Garth Brooks has been entertaining fans since the early 90s when his first album went on sale.

Later signed by Capitol records, his first album went on sale in 1989. His second album was a huge hit and he became known as the ‘king’ of country music.

This performer made headlines again when he decided to leave behind showbiz for more than a decade after being unhappy with how things were going at record label, Capitol/Sony Music Nashville. He then got back together with wife Trisha Yearwood and they both began filming Kitchen Nightmares alongside celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay.
