Toby Keith’s birthday

Born July 8, 1961 in Clinton, Oklahoma.

Toby Keith graduated from Moore High School and worked  in the oil fields.

In 1982, the oil industry in Oklahoma began a rapid decline and Keith soon found himself unemployed. He fell back on his football training and played defensive end with the semi-pro Oklahoma City Drillers while continuing to perform with his band.

He released his first album in 1993.
