ABOUT KASHUS CULPEPPER
Alabama-born country crooner Kashus Culpepper encompasses the sound of the South. A student and reverent purveyor of Southern music – country, soul, blues, folk and rock – Culpepper’s husky, sandpaper growl bellows like a freight train over self-penned stories that are as raw and real as they are haunting. Finding his voice in church as young as five years old, it wasn’t until 2020’s global pandemic that Culpepper went from listener to performer, picking up a guitar and learning cover songs to play at barrack bonfires in Rota, Spain during his deployment with the Navy. Covers soon became originals, and once he landed home on U.S. shores, Kash played dive bars up and down the Mississippi Gulf Coast, making a name for himself with the fresh-yet-reminiscent sound that oozes from his very being. Crashing into prominence, Culpepper sold out headline club shows throughout the South before formally releasing a single song and opened shows nationwide for sound pioneers like Charles Wesley Godwin and Charley Crockett. With Nashville taking notice, Culpepper found a musical home at Big Loud Records and has dropped a string of resonating singles including most recent “Broken Wing Bird (feat. Sierra Ferrell).” Culpepper has joined Leon Bridges, Dylan Gossett and Whiskey Myers on tour this year; and made first-ever appearances at Stagecoach, C2C in London, Tortuga Music Festival and more. Named one of GRAMMY.com‘s 25 Artists to Watch in 2025, Apple Music Zane Lowe’s 25 Artists for ’25, 2025 Amazon Music Bonfire Artist to Watch, 2025 Variety Power of Young Hollywood Impact Report, 2025 Pandora Country Artist to Watch, Opry NextStage Class of 2025, Billboard‘s February 2025 Country Rookie of the Month, Apple Music’s February 2025 Country Riser of the Month and Martin Artist Showcase Class of 2025, The Guardian declares: “it’s obvious why his career has been fast-tracked. The handful of songs he’s released so far take a smart, often witty route… performed in a style he classifies as ‘southern sounds’…”
