Garth Brooks was born on February 7, 1962, in Tulsa, Oklahoma, USA. He is the son of Troyal Raymond Brooks Jr., who worked as a draftsman for an oil company, and Colleen McElroy Carroll, a former country singer. His mother played a significant role in nurturing his musical talents and interest in country music from an early age.
From a young age, Brooks showed a keen interest in music and learned to play a variety of instruments. His professional music career began in 1985 when he started performing at clubs in Oklahoma. These early performances allowed him to explore various musical genres, helping him develop his distinctive style of country music infused with elements of rock and pop.
In 1985, an agent noticed Brooks during a performance at a local bar and introduced him to key music industry executives. His debut self-titled album, released in 1989, was a commercial success and reached the top of the Billboard charts. The success of this album marked Brooks' entry into mainstream country music.
Following his debut, Brooks released his second album, No Fences, in 1990. It became one of his most successful works, reaching the No. 1 position on the Billboard Top Country Albums chart and remained there for 24 consecutive weeks. The album included hit singles such as "Friends in Low Places" and "The Thunder Rolls," solidifying his place in country music history.
In 1991, Brooks released his third album, Ropin' the Wind, which made history by debuting at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart, a rare feat for a country artist at the time.
