Tulsa OK, United States (1962 – present)

Troyal Garth Brooks (born February 7, 1962 in Tulsa, Oklahoma) is an American country music singer songwriter and charity director.

Brooks was a phenomenal musical force in the 1990s. He had his chart breakthrough in 1989, having come apparently from nowhere, and was an immediate commercial success. Lacking the tall and lanky physical appearance typical of some male country stars, he successfully integrated pop and rock elements into his recordings and live performances. He soon began to dominate the country singles and country albums charts and quickly crossed over into the mainstream pop arena, selling records like no one else in country music ever had and exposing country music to a larger audience than previously thought possible.

Brooks enjoyed one of the most successful careers in popular music history, with over 70 hit singles and 15 charted albums to his credit and over 115 million albums sold in the US alone, breaking records for both sales and concert attendance throughout the 1990s. Possibly dissatisfied and looking to expand his career boundaries, he then attempted an artistically ambitious (but uncompleted) multimedia project involving a fictitious alter ego.

Troubled by the conflicts between career and family, the year after the decade ended Garth Brooks announced his retirement from recording and performing, thereby disappearing from the music world as suddenly as he had come.

    I grew up listening to country music as a kid, but my taste in music has changed since then. Now he's the only country artist I can really enjoy listening to.

    Garth Brooks is solely responsible for getting me into Country music. I was 6, and I heard "Thunder Rolls" in the radio. I loved it. In fact, I freaked out! Forced my dad to pull out his CD and listened to the song over and over and over again, driving for no particular reason other than to do something while listening. Thank you, Garth. I'm so happy I'm a country fan.
