Kix Brooks was born and raised in Shreveport, LA where he hit the ground running and has never slowed down. He got
into music at a young age which eventually lead him to Nashville where he started his career writing hit songs for other
artists such as the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, Highway 101, and John Conlee. In 1990, Kix teamed with Ronnie Dunn to form
Brooks & Dunn, who are the highest-selling duo in the history of country music. They have sold more than 30 million
records, won more than 75 major industry awards, and have 20 #1 hit songs.

In 2006, Kix took over the hosting reins of the long-running syndicated radio program American Country Countdown, where every week he shares country music’s Top 30 songs. The broadcast industry has taken note and honored Kix with the CMA National Broadcast Personality of the Year Award in 2009, 2011, and 2013, making him the first person to ever win a CMA Award as an artist and a broadcaster.


Kix continues to give back to his community through his involvement with organizations such as the Country Music
Association, Operation Finally Home, Veterans Matter, Tennessee Tourism Board, and the Monroe Carell Jr. Children’s
Hospital at Vanderbilt. In December 2014, Kix was named the first recipient of the Country Music Association’s
Humanitarian Award.

Brooks & Dunn, along with their close friend Reba McEntire, continue their residency at The Colosseum in Caesar’s
Palace. “Reba + Brooks & Dunn: Together In Vegas!” has been a fan favorite for the past five years. In 2019, not only did
Brooks & Dunn release a new album, Reboot, with some of country music’s up-and-coming artists like Luke Combs, Kane Brown and Thomas Rhett, but they were also featured in an exhibit at the Country Music Hall of Fame. And, in October of 2019, Kix and Ronnie were honored as the newest inductees to the Country Music Hall of Fame.
