Toby Keith is an American country music singer-songwriter, record producer and actor. Toby Keith grew up on a farm just outside Oklahoma City and took to the guitar before he reached the age of nine, growing proficient with remarkable speed and efficiency.

 

His eponymous 1993 debut album spawned several hit songs, including the number one single “Should’ve Been a Cowboy,” and Keith became a star and frequent sight on Country Music Television. Hailed as a “traditionalist” in the genre, he followed up with enough hit songs to release a compilation of greatest hits just five years after his debut.

 

With his Ford sponsorship entering its second decade and his I Love This Bar And Grill restaurant chain booming, Toby Keith tops country earners for the second consecutive year on FORBES list. His already-strong catalog sales were boosted by the wild success of his platinum single “Red Solo Cup” and his gold record, Clancy’s Tavern, helped him fill venues across the country. His Wild Shot line of Mezcal is also selling well.
