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.
