FGL’s Big Loud Separation

• Florida Georgia Line and managers Seth England and Kevin “Chief” Zaruk of Big Loud have amicably parted ways after a record-breaking nine years together, as confirmed today, January 31, 2020. The multi-platinum, award-winning duo of Brian Kelley and Tyler Hubbard first signed with Big Loud Publishing in 2011 and immediately shot to stardom with the 2012 independent release of their debut single, “Cruise” — now 11X platinum and reigns as the best-selling digital Country single of all time, according to SoundScan.

In a joint statement, Kelley and Hubbard said, “It has been an incredible journey with our Big Loud family and we are so thankful for the last nine years. Together we’ve grown more than we could have ever imagined due to what we all bring to the table. As we continue to evolve, so do our needs and our team. Although bittersweet, we and Big Loud are excited to support and encourage each other as we enter the next chapter of our careers, and welcome a new family into our world with open arms. We will continue to dream big and push ourselves to be the best we can be in all facets of life. We are just getting started.”

Big Loud Partners Seth England, Craig Wiseman, Joey Moi and Chief Zaruk commented, “We can’t say enough how much love we have for both BK and T-Hubb. We have achieved more in nine years than any of us could have ever dreamed. We’re really proud of almost a decade full of record-breaking success with the two young kids we met in 2011. Today we find a safe place to unwind our business relationship in order to preserve the lifelong friendships and memories we have made together. Good luck to BK and T-Hubb in their future endeavors. Big Loud Proud.”
