Tippin grew up in Travelers Rest, South Carolina, where he attended Blue Ridge High School. After working as a multi-engined instrument commercial pilot, he pursued a singing career, performing at local bars. In 1986 he moved to Nashville, and became a songwriter working for Acuff/Rose Music. The same year he competed on TNN’s talent contest “You Can Be a Star”, landing a song publishing deal the following year. Aside from writing songs for artists such as The Kingsmen, Mark Collie and Charley Pride, he also worked at Logan Aluminum company.
In 1990 Tippin signed a contract with RCA Records, releasing his debut single, “You’ve Got to Stand for Something”, in the following year. The song brought him a high level of popularity, both for hitting #6 on the Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks charts and for it being turned into something of an anthem for soldiers fighting in the Gulf War at the time. The song was followed by the same-titled debut album later that year, which went gold. His second album under RCA, “Read Between the Lines”, came out in 1992; it went platinum and spawned hits such as “There Ain’t Nothin’ Wrong with the Radio”, “I Wouldn’t Have It Any Other Way”, and “My Blue Angel”, all dominating the charts. Tippin went on to release three more gold albums under RCA, containing hits such as “Workin’ Man’s Ph.D.”, “I Got It Honest” and “That’s as Close as I’ll Get to Loving You”. There was also a Greatest Hits compilation, released in 1996. All added to his net worth.
In 1998, the artist signed with Lyric Street Records, releasing another hit entitled “For You I Will”, the lead single of his next album “What This Country Needs” that came out later that year. Another hit followed, the 2000 “Kiss This”, preceding the album “People Like Us”, which also went gold. Tippin’s wealth was further boosted.
During the aftermath of the 9/11 attacks, he released the patriotic hit “Where the Stars and Stripes and the Eagle Fly”, which was included in the album “Stars & Stripes” released in 2002. In 2006, he formed his own record label called Nippit Records, in partnership with Rust Nashville, and released the album “Aaron Tippin: Now & Then”, achieving modest success.
As of 2008, Tippin has been signed to Country Crossing Records, under which he released one album, the 2009 “In Overdrive”.
Aside from his singing career, Tippin has been involved in other ventures. Along with his wife and manager, he owns a company called Tip Top Entertainment, and is also the owner of two hunting supply stores called Aaron Tippin Firearms.
As a great military supporter, Tippin has held many live shows for the Army, and many of his songs are patriotic in nature. Throughout his career, he has released nine studio albums and two compilations, with numerous singles dominating the Billboard Hot Country Songs charts. This has enabled him to achieve the status of a star in the music industry, and to earn good money as well.
When speaking about his personal life, Tippin has been married to Thea Corontzos since 1995. The couple has three children, and the family resides in Dowelltown, Tennessee.
