Brian Kelley, often known just as BK, is an American musician best known as one half of the chart-topping country duo Florida Georgia Line. Born on August 26, 1985, in Ormond Beach, Florida, Kelley pursued his love for music and eventually met Tyler Hubbard, with whom he formed Florida Georgia Line in 2010. Together, they achieved massive success with hits such as "Cruise," helping to pioneer the "bro-country" genre with their infectious blend of country, pop, hip-hop, and rock.

In recent years, Kelley has embarked on a solo journey, showcasing a more personal side of his artistry. His solo releases, including "BK's Wave Pack" and "Sunshine State of Mind," reveal his deep-rooted connection to his home state of Florida, blending laid-back coastal vibes with the storytelling essence of country music. Songs like "Florida Strong" and "American Spirit" reflect his penchant for feel-good, anthemic tunes that celebrate his southern pride and love for the country’s ethos. Kelley's music consistently carries an air of escapism, often addressing themes of love, leisure, and nostalgia, as heard in tracks like "See You Next Summer" and its acoustic rendition, as well as the breezy "Whatever Floats Your Boat." His solo work marks a new chapter for the artist, as he navigates the industry as a standalone act while continuing to harness the spirited energy that has long defined his music career.
