Tyler Farr opens up about his rural upbringing

As per Us Weekly, the Missouri-based Love by the Moon hitmaker, Tyler Farr, during an interview with Taste of Country in 2012, opened up about his upbringing and growing up in Garden City. Tyler said:

"I grew up in a small town in pretty much the middle of the United States [in] Garden City, Missouri. There’s about 1,000 people there."

He continued:

"When you grow up in a town like that, you breathe and eat the country and that lifestyle [because] there’s not a lot to do. You either take over your family farm or you go work for the union, and you see some people go to college. It’s just a simple lifestyle, [and] that led me to write about the things I’m writing about now."

While talking about his love for music, Tyler further added:

"From an early age, I was infatuated with music. I always loved it and was always dancing or playing something. As I grew older, I started taking classical voice lessons and did classical music all through high school, which I know is hard to believe because it sounds like [I] smoke a carton of cigarettes every day. I sang all through high school, and then went to a college on a performance scholarship."
