Early Life

In 1989 he moved to Nashville to chase a music career, playing club gigs before landing his first record deal.
Career
His breakthrough came with Not a Moment Too Soon (1994), the top country album of 1994, which turned him into a superstar overnight. Signature hits such as "Live Like You Were Dying" and "Humble and Kind" became cultural touchstones, while his record-setting Soul2Soul tours with wife Faith Hill rank among the highest-grossing country tours ever staged.
Beyond music, McGraw built a respected acting resume with roles in Friday Night Lights (2004), The Blind Side (2009), Tomorrowland (2015) and the Yellowstone prequel 1883 alongside Faith Hill.
