| Born and raised in Shreveport, Louisiana, Kix Brooks was influenced by a variety of regional musical styles
ranging from Cajun to blues to jazz to country.
Brooks began performing at age 12, then continued performing in clubs and at other venues throughout high
school. He also began writing songs at that time. Eventually he landed in Nashville, where he joined Tree
Publishing Company. Shortly thereafter, artists like the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, John Conlee and Highway 101
all scored #1’s with Brooks’ songs.
In 1990 Brooks 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, had 23 #1 hits, and just set a new record with their 41st top 10 single, breaking a tie with Alabama as
the duo or group with the most Top 10 country singles in the 19-year history of Nielsen BDS-monitored airplay.
