Early Life
Kashus Culpepper was born on 28th July 2008 and raised in Alexander City, Alabama, and developed his vocal skills at an early age, singing gospel in his local church since the age of five. His life was surrounded by music, despite his having other career interests, which were to train as a firefighter and later join the U.S. Navy.
Music turned into something more than a hobby during his deployment to Spain in 2020, during the isolation of the pandemic. With a borrowed guitar, he started learning to play it himself and even started composing songs to encourage his fellow sailors.
Songwriting started as a creative pursuit and a method of therapy; he would later write as a way of keeping his mind occupied. Culpepper went back to Alabama and worked in physically demanding labor jobs such as construction and cement work after his military service.
However, he did not lose his interest in music. Kashus Culpepper played five nights a week at local dive bars, sometimes pouring his heart out night after night. These all-night gigs were his training grounds—honing his raw vocal power, honing his storytelling, and winning him a local following.
Kashus Culpepper Career
Kashus Culpepper started his musical career in 2023. With no official release, he was selling out shows throughout the Southeast on the strength of viral social clips. A clip of his song, “After Me?” received millions of hits on the internet and attracted the attention of Samuel L. Jackson, who described his style of soul-folk infused with raw lyrics as being brilliant.
He soon signed with Big Loud Records and obtained publishing deals with Big Loud Publishing and Warner Chapel. His first song, titled “After Me?” was released in mid-2024 with universal praise. Colorado Sound called it “After Me?” a lovely song that really brings out Culpepper’s amazing voice, and other publications such as MusicRow declared him as thoroughly gripping.
Later in 2024, he embarked on his second headlining tour, the Howlin’ Under The Harvest Moon, which saw him selling out shows in Austin, Dallas, Detroit, Birmingham, and Nashville. He released more emotionally affecting singles, such as “Who Hurt You?” and “Out of My Mind,” which were acclaimed as being soul-stirring and heartfelt.
By early 2025, the momentum Culpepper gained took him outside the U.S.—a second appearance on the Grand Ole Opry and his first performances in London, at the O2 Arena, and in Australia, at the CMC Rocks Festival.
He also co-signed big names such as Leon Bridges and Ian Munsick and met with country singer Zach Bryan backstage because they both served in the military. CBS News ran the live performance of his “After Me?”, “Southern Man” and “Man of His Word” as the “Saturday Sessions” in spring. He is being referred to as one of the most rapidly emerging stars in the world of country music.
