GARTH BROOKS BIOGRAPHY


 
Garth Brooks

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

Brooks was a phenomenal musical force in the 1990s. He appeared, apparently from nowhere, without the tall and lanky physical appearance typical of some male country stars, the year before the decade began and was an immediate commercial success, integrating pop and rock elements into his recordings and live performances.

He soon began to dominate the country singles and the 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 100 million albums sold in the U.S. alone. Brooks broke 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, multi-media 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. To his many fans the world over he remains a legend.
